Wooden1165 Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 07/11/2018 12:44 pm This quarter looks and feels like it has extra metal!I know that doesn't sound right,but it does. I think... My husband was looking at it under the microscope and it looked like it has circles all around some wore out lettering on the back. I picked it up and found out that those s places were raised even and kinda sharp. What do yall make of it? Report this Post to the Staff

Wooden1165 Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 07/11/2018 12:51 pm Hmm..Those places on it are sharp though. Is that normal for a stain? Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Pillar of the Community Canada 4648 Posts	Posted 07/11/2018 1:03 pm Not a stain but not extra metal either or it wouldn't be transparent. Possibly glue. Have you seen if it could be picked off? Sometimes acetone can be used to remove it. Change is inevitable except from a vending machine. Report this Post to the Staff
chipjones Pillar of the Community United States 591 Posts	Posted 07/11/2018 1:08 pm looks like glue. Yes acetone will remove it. Report this Post to the Staff
Wooden1165 Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 07/11/2018 1:10 pm No we can't remove it. I am not sure what it is. But it's very sharp. And it looks to only be on the messed up lettering too Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Pillar of the Community United States 8208 Posts	Posted 07/11/2018 3:03 pm I agree with @jd and @cj that this is dried glue. You should be able to peel it off the surface with a sharp edge like a razor blade. Soaking in the right solvent for long enough would remove it also (acetone is a good start, but there are others). Regardless, this coin is a spender. "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
