BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 05/03/2009 01:14 am I found this in a roll of wheaties I bought. Has anybody seen this before? It appears the "contamination" is metallic and of similer composition to the base material. It's adhesion to the coin is very strong and has been there a while as it's protected the luster of this 1954-S. Any input is appreciated. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

It was packaged in glass bottles with "ice cream pop" type wooden sticks attached with a rubber band. Shortly thereafter, the glue was repositioned under the name "Elmer's Glue-All", after Elmer, the spouse of Borden's corporate symbol, Elsie the cow. It could have been glued a decade or more after it was minted. But that is why this hobby is interesting.....we shall never know Report this Post to the Staff

It appears to be welded the base material and not glued. In fact it looks like bronze/brass itself. A strange cent to be sure. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 20038 Posts	Posted 05/04/2009 6:55 pm I found a wheat with a piece of what looked to be chewing gum on it. I removed the gum and it looked almost identical to that coin. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
