1982 D Conjoined Coins?

Yup, glue. Time for an acetone soak.

I'm all out of acetone; gotta get some tomorrow (Memorial Day). I'll soak (perhaps not-so-honest Abe) for 24 hours and send after soak pictures. Thanks for joining me in the adventure. Hard for me to believe, but, I might just learn something!

yes, it looks like the clear hot glue stuff.

You are correct, they were conjoined but with the aid of a sticky clear substance like Glue. You can spend it.
And don't waste money on buying Acetone for this .

Well..., Having been swiftly kicked in the right spot, The base root of the reversed "R" no longer looks like an "M" And the reversed word "TRUST" now seems stark to these eyes. Next time I sit to play. I'll poke around inside the impressions with my porcupine quill. I'm pretty sure I'll find them to be incuse.

You all convince me not to waste gas on a special trip, but I'll get some acetone next time I'm out there. Then I'll do the soak, and post the pics because I think you're right and you're entitled to see my results. This species of adventure is my idea of fun.

I got me some acetone. For what it cost me, I suspect its former owner had to smuggle it through The. Strait of Hormuz. Anyway, I present my result--which could as readily be called your validation.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. This receiver will milk it for all it's worth. Whatever this gunk was it did a beautiful job preserving the regions of the coin that it sullied.

Thank you for sharing the after results of the acetone soak.
