    20190412_195159.jpg 20190412_195207.jpg I know this guy is in bad shape BUT there appears to be no real metal loss just wear (and dirt). What could this be caused by?

    It has some wear.. Also, many coins have a plus or minus in weight variance. It could of started off as a underweight planchet when it was minted. Then the minute wear took away from the weight.

    Yes, acid typically allows a coin to shed weight.
