I've got a feeling that someone was playing with some acid.

Could be acid being the cause but it's damage for sure.

 

Looks genuine to me. Cannot be a die set-up piece because strong/weak areas next to each other. I see no evidence of acid as surface looks original. IMO Struck through.

 

Is this another joke? What surfaces do you see that look original?

 

Must have been one hell of a glob of grease!!

 

Plus reverse has copper clad starting to show through - something started removing the cupro-nickle layer - AKA acid

 

NO!

 

All of them. What do you see?

 

Just asking...Have any of you "acid heads" EVER put an acid on a coin? If you reply yes. I want to know what the acid was, its approx. strength, and the composition of the coin. THEN tell us all what you saw and what it smelled like (if you remember).

I would buy that coin in a second because it looks 100% original in the photo.

 

I don't see anything that looks original to me. We probably don't see or use the term original in the same way. Folks will never agree on the use of the term.

 

I don't see to many yays on struck through... so is this one acid too?

 

what about this one?

 

when I find cents that people have said were acid...the coins were porous. would that not happen with a quarter?

 

can you give your opinion paddy on what you think?

 

I've decided to stay out of this conversation.

Chris

 

for asking a question that would help further my learning? ok...

 

Because there is someone else who is making a joke of your (reasonable) question and I don't want to lose my temper.

Chris

 

Agreed. It didn't happen at the Mint. Not that I'm sure what_did happen, but grease won't do that.

 

I'm out of this thread as well. Let god insider answer any questions.
