jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1278 Posts	Posted 01/30/2023 7:32 pm Hey Guys.. Just got through looking at one of Coop's replies to a post about Ghost Images and I remembered having this 2016 one cent coin. It took a 24 hour bath in Acetone twice and the ghost refused to go away. If it's glue, it's some mighty good stuff..Seriously...this is a weird one, but makes a great conversation piece. Thanks..Jim Report this Post to the Staff
