You might be able to dislodge them with the tip of a wooden toothpick. They aren't mint errors though.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/23/2023 6:33 pm I agree with glue on the coin not an error. Try a soak in warm to hot water first. If nothing happens, try a soak in 100% pure acetone,not standard nail polish remover. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
