<p>[QUOTE="Fallguy, post: 3017813, member: 84739"]The only question I'd have about acid damage is that first, the banding direction is the same, i.e. Top Right - Bottom Left on Rev and conversely Top Left - Bottom Right on Obv (could be coincidence I guess); second, the width of the band is approximately equivalent on the Rev and Obv, and; third there doesn't appear to be collateral damage (similar) outside of the banded area on either side. While I certainly don't know what caused it (and it could very well be acid) the only way it seems that effect could be produced (within the parameters listed) would be to have draped an acid soaked, narrow piece of cloth over the coin. Would appear to be hard to do by chance, and if intentional, to what end?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
