Pictures of PVC damage!

PVC Kills! This is a Large Cent that had PVC damage on the coin. See how the PVC eats away the surface? This coin has been clean to remove the PVC damage, and has retoned. You can still see PVC in the pitts.

  • Now this is an education, Spooly! Thank you for sharing this with us. I didn't know what it looked like on copper. Do you have examples of silver, gold and nickel damage?

    Very good thread. This is good stuff for this board. Not for the coins though.

    I don't have any other coins that show PVC damage. I am looking for them! image So if anyone has one let me know! image

    It takes PVC alot longer to eat away the medal on sliver/nickel/gold coins.
