Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75503 Posts	Posted 07/13/2026 9:09 pm It's not an error. It's some kind of gunk, maybe dried glue. It should come off with an acetone soak. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19281 Posts	Posted 07/13/2026 9:55 pm Agree--looks to be 'dried' crud. For fun, give the coin a long soak in 100% acetone. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16883 Posts	Posted 07/14/2026 10:03 pm At one stage, a second cent was glued onto the obverse. You can see the large O and backwards-N from ONE imprinted in the glue. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
