Going through my USA Penny Stash up here in Canada and this 1948s just stood out at me. Not going to get in detail but I took some good pictures for you to view. There is some thing special with this coin! The copper area is raised to the rest of the strike. I need your expertness on this one.

It appears to be just glue or something like that. That is why the area underneath isn't toned, the glue kept the air from the surface of the coin.

Maybe it is glue or some thing. Let me check it out and see if I can chip a piece off.

Soak the coin in 100% acetone to avoid physical damage.

I soaked it for 5 minutes in Acetone and the [glue] is all gone. Couple of picks of the cleaned coin. Kinda cool looking now. Thanks for your help!!

Acetone does its job. Sadly, not an error.

Thx for following up with those "after" pics. The glue has protected the copper from oxidizing.

What remains is just staining. No premium I'm afraid.
