Ematta New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 09/29/2025 11:01 am I scraped with toothpick and nothing came out. The cooper color is the and same texture as the cooper from the rim, no difference. Thanks for all the input. Report this Post to the Staff

Marve65 Pillar of the Community United States 7266 Posts	Posted 09/30/2025 7:53 pm Well you can always give it a soak in 100% Acetone - see what happens. If it is indeed a thin layer of clad that peeled off exposing the copper core that would be cool! Report this Post to the Staff
Ematta New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 10/04/2025 3:25 pm Thanks for the advice of dipping in 100% acetone. After two hours soaking nothing came out, no glue or any other kind of material. Attached are the pictures after the acetone bath. Thanks for your help. Now I am intrigued about this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
