<p>[QUOTE="cheerful16, post: 2061039, member: 73290"]yeah, I did this before really knowing better. I've tried the sample-acid idea with a different coin and couldn't get it to work out. The ice-melting test was inconclusive, so I tried a Q-tip on the edge and couldn't tell if there was any change because of the reeding. Understandably a Q-tip of bleach to the obverse was NOT my finest moment...but it was conclusive. That's when I almost wet myself for what I'd done.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
