[QUOTE="Insider, post: 8289629, member: 24314"]Hey Rick, thanks for your comment. Would you care to make one of these for us ;) because I disagree [SIZE=5][COLOR=#b30000]100%[/COLOR][/SIZE] with your opinion. Acid does not move metal into very built-up ridges like this. It tends to attack a surface much more evenly along areas of weakness. I and many old dinosaurs around here have partially dissolved Lincoln cents in acid long ago for our amusement. BTW, the explanation of coins with this appearance came directly from the folks at the Mint Lab in the 1970's when we sought to find out if these could be genuine Mint-made errors. So, with all due respect, I don't care what the error experts of today believe caused this effect. ;)[/QUOTE]
