Ok yes it is ok to disagree with us. You have the coin in hand while we are relying on your pics. Could it be a little dried glue? Whatever it is, it really doesn't look like die cracks though.

Any brand should be fine as long as it is 100% acetone--you don't want, for example, nail polish remover.

Some pictures are so deceiving. Doesn't this look like a depression on the coin but yet the other pictures really don't show it

I'm with Marve about this area in the images being incuse.
The light seems to be coming from about k2 (in relation to the image).
When I enlarge the original image, there also seems to be weakness to the rim in the same area.
IMHO, this means these incuse areas were on the surface before the strike.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Ok I take 10 minutes in the 100% acetone and the results is not what I expected so I dont know how much time I'm supposed to let the coin in the solution but the surface its a Little bit brighter but the problem stay global its not stain for sure its kind of hit in the bottom of one cent and we saw the same hit on the obverse did you think it was made during the mint process or its a damage after the penny has to be struck so I really dont know ?
