Found this one with brass coloring and glue stuck to it.
Soaked it overnight. All the glue came off along with some sort
of plating/paint for the brass color. You can see flecks of it in the bottom of my jar.
I think the cent was dipped before it was coated based on the pink color.
I believe the brown on the reveres in natural toning.

I believe you're correct. It looks much better after soaking it.

Yes, very interesting. If nothing else, it appeared to be a fun experiment.

The person who bedazzled that wheatie and glued it to something was probably very proud of their work.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
