I pulled it from an "unsearched" roll. I have been wondering if it was tape? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 99323 Posts	Posted 10/19/2025 6:39 pm to CCF. Yes, it would appear that it is tape residue from when it was used to hold this coin in a Whitman folder (or similar).

Spence Moderator United States 34457 Posts	Posted 10/19/2025 8:28 pm @dst, it might have come from one of those old blue Whitman folders as the coins sometimes were a bit loose in the holes and tape was a common way to ensure that they wouldn't fall out. Hopefully there isn't differential toning underneath that tape residue.
