<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TS10, post: 1727238, member: 47611&quot;]It is very simple, I have proven you all wrong. I know what the test results are. YOU all need to prove me wrong. As I said, Show me your acid coins, your heated/melted coins, your dryer coins (actually put in a dryer and spun for months and months to wear it down enough) that show the same traits as my coin, and Jim_M&#039;s coin. My post was solid. It provided a lot. But of course, for some egos are bruised easily and it is easier to keep saying the world is flat than to accept a new truth. That is why they say, &quot;The truth will set you free&quot;. It means that if you believe something and learn a truth that is contrary to what you believe in, it will set you free from your false truth.</p><p><br /></p><p>Think about this. The inside of a dryer is pretty smooth. It&#039;s made&nbsp; smooth so clothes don&#039;t get any more damaged than they do rubbing&nbsp; against each other (the main cause of all that lint). If you have a&nbsp; coin(s) in the dryer with clothes, the coin is being protected from the&nbsp; metal a lot if not most of the time. There are 2 main types of dryers,&nbsp; drums with fins and drums that without. Say we put a coin in a dryer&nbsp; with no clothes and the drum has no fins. The heat is not hot enough to&nbsp; melt the coin to cause any distortion. It doesn&#039;t get that hot. The coin&nbsp; will slide along in the drum, and if there is any wear, what&#039;s the&nbsp; first part of the coin that is going to wear? It&#039;s the part touching the&nbsp; drum of course the rim. So, if the coin did wear down to the point it&nbsp; flattened the words almost to the coins flat surface, the rim too would&nbsp; be gone. Lincoln would be gone, and so would the memorial. Also, as the&nbsp; metal is being removed in such minute amounts, the letters would not&nbsp; flatten out. They&#039;d be the same shape basically, just lower.</p><p><br /></p><p>If&nbsp; you doubt me, try it yourself. But instead of waiting a very long time&nbsp; for a dryer to do it, use a very fine sand paper to accelerate the&nbsp; process and you will see that what I claim is correct.</p><p><br /></p><p>When rickmp wrote that acid dissolves, I gave it the benefit of doubt and acknowledge he was right. But inside I knew copper oxidizes in nitric acid, so I checked and was proven right. When I am wrong, I don&#039;t hesitate to admit so. Can the rest of you do so?</p><p><br /></p><p>But say that you can&#039;t prove me wrong, as I am new to serious coin collecting, who would I send it to, and what is the cost of such a service?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
