Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 08/28/2018 12:33 pm First thought was potential off metal. After zooming in really close the opacity through the tissue test seems to favor the clad coin more. If in doubt you can have it tested. Thanks, Doug. PS: I have a nickel in similar condition, maybe encrusted a little worse. Acetone was no help on mine. Report this Post to the Staff
