Yes, some form of died (once liquid/viscous) substance. Hoping there's a positive acetone outcome.

Still looks like a foreign substance, lacquer perhaps.

Might be epoxy. Acetone will not remove epoxy. John1  |

The substance on it did dissolve and come off, you'd have to see it in person

When you soak a coin in acetone, you should leave it in there for 24 hours. But that my opinion. And you know what they say about those  |

Acetone will also remove epoxy. But for glue, epoxy, lacquer, etc, it may take a much longer soak to dissolve all the substance off the coin. Looks like much of it came off with the initial soak.

Sure looks like glue to me as well - try another soak for a full day or 2. (it won't harm the coins.)

My standard answer is, if acetone doesn't work try water.

Yes, soak for a day or two in a closed container.

If acetone 2 days soak does it work try this, I have cleaned my metal tools that have hardened epoxy on them by leaving them in boiling water for about 1 hour. It doesn't dissolve the epoxy but separates portions of the epoxy from the metal, then you can pull up the epoxy from the separation point, It did not work 100% of the time but it did worked most of time.
