Spence Moderator United States 34461 Posts	Posted 03/21/2020 8:43 pm Yes a weird pattern to be sure. Are you sure that it isn't just a dried liquid (coffee, cola, or glue)?

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 03/21/2020 8:56 pm I was thinking the same thing as Spence. A stain maybe? What they call a "cupholder" coin? Report this Post to the Staff
Hermz Valued Member United States 181 Posts	Posted 03/21/2020 9:24 pm I have a good idea it's not a stain only because the pattern seems raised compared to the darker parts of the reverse. Will try and get different angles on the coin. I would try to clean it but don't have acetone or cleaner(the alarms are going off in my head just typing that) Report this Post to the Staff
Hermz Valued Member United States 181 Posts	Posted 03/21/2020 9:48 pm More angle pictures. Just such a weird pattern. Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 03/21/2020 10:06 pm to the CCF! I'm thinking it's a 'cup holder' coin as well. Whatever caused the stain could have etched the copper surface as well. I worked in a QC lab for Coca-Cola and saw what the acid can do in it's strongest and weakest solution. A little copper doesn't stand a chance. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
Hermz Valued Member United States 181 Posts	Posted 03/21/2020 10:23 pm yeah that makes sense. Didn't wipe off with a light rub with my gloves, but suppose a stain wouldn't wipe off. Thanks for the input, Will chalk it up as a cupholder coin as suggested Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/22/2020 04:49 am So where did we end up on if a zincoln can even have a lamination or not? I thought I read it is not possible. Hermz,your coin looks like a so called cup holder coin to me. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Hermz Valued Member United States 181 Posts	Posted 03/22/2020 08:49 am That's good to know John, I didn't realize that! I can accept the cup holder idea. Just a first time for me seeing it corrode a pattern like that into the coin I suppose. Report this Post to the Staff
