<p>[QUOTE=&quot;manny9655, post: 4767880, member: 112417&quot;]I wouldn&#039;t do that on a flying eagle cent.&nbsp; They are 88% copper and only 12% nickel, as opposed to a nickel which is 75% copper and 25% nickel.&nbsp; Nic-A-Date is ferric chloride, the same acid used in the electronics industry to etch the copper off of circuit boards to make the circuit design.&nbsp; That&#039;s how the acid works.&nbsp; It dissolves the copper and it does affect nickel too, but the nickel is more hardened due to the minting process so it doesn&#039;t affect it as much.&nbsp; Since the cents have much more copper in them than a nickel does, you&#039;ll be dissolving more copper.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think that&#039;s wise.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
