Dearborn Moderator United States 98078 Posts	Posted 05/11/2023 1:35 pm yep, sure looks like a lump of solder to me as well. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 05/11/2023 2:24 pm with a soldering iron and braid you can probably liquidify and soak up the solder, if that's what it is, without much more harm to the coin, a 1938-D is worth saving Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19241 Posts	Posted 05/11/2023 3:06 pm For fun, give the coin a long soak in 100% acetone--some (perhaps all) of that crud may disappear. Report this Post to the Staff
