jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 08/21/2018 4:25 pm Can't really tell from the photos, higher quality ones may help as well as a pic of the reverse. Three possibilities: 1) Damaged die; 2) metal struck into planchet; 3) An old blob of glue or solder. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 08/21/2018 5:59 pm Sorry I had to lighten up the pic a bit to see. IMHO - I don't think it is either - just looks damaged with gunk on top. Report this Post to the Staff

Imag8r Valued Member United States 227 Posts	Posted 08/21/2018 7:57 pm Thanks everyone for the input—will keep since first lamination find—just for grins looking on ebay and prices vary widely—i would think the rarity of the coin and the size of the lamination and grade of coin all factors—do you think soaking in acetone to try and clean it up a bit would hurt?
