Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 77623 Posts	Posted Today 2H 3M ago Not an error. It's sticky crud that got stuck to the coin. PMD. Worth 25 cents. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Messiahswrath New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted Today 1H 49M ago The yellow substance is literally fused to the metal. I've tried to scratch it off. Break it off. Crack it off it's like a strike through. The yellow substance will never come of the coin unless you melt the metal. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21815 Posts	Posted Today 1H 46M ago Whatever the substance is, it wasn't there when the coin was minted so it is PMD. It may come off with a acetone soaking. Report this Post to the Staff

You will be surprised what will come off even though it looks like it will not.

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7707 Posts	Posted Today 35M ago Looks like dried glue or tape residue. In this case, an acetone bath will tell you pretty quick. I can assure you it is 100% NOT a mint error. Report this Post to the Staff
