I won't take this chance again until I have some pure acetone. Then I will soak my other 100 or so "error" coins.
Had a good laugh at myself.

I remember gluing two coins together as a kid to make a "magic" coin that had two heads. Didn't fool anyone for very long with it.

The best thing to remember about coins that have had people do strange things to them, is that there doesn't have to be a reason they did it. Sometimes it's just for fun or out of boredom.

Seriously, some cheap "folders" as opposed to albums like Dansco don't always hold a coin securely due to the inconsistent hole size and any wear on the rim of the coin would add to the problem. Whenever I encounter a coin with glue residue it is on the reverse 99% of the time. Since a folder only gives you the option of showing one side of the coin and the traditional way of displaying a coin for obvious reasons is to show the obverse, it is my assumption that the coin was in such a folder or some sort of "display". Not a good practice at any rate but a novice may not consider that. Fortunately the acetone treatment seems to do the trick with no discernible damage to the coin. I suppose it would depend on what type of adhesive was used. Methinks that epoxy or some other super adhesive would present a greater challenge. By the way allcoinsnewbie, that's not a bad looking coin after treatment. Congrats!

I honestly thought it was copper from the mint. The 'stuff' on it was copper colored and just as hard as the rest of the coin.

Learned a few good lessons with my very expensive, mint error 1944S.

Google how coins are made in the videos. It'll give you some explanation how molten copper could not appear on a coin. Coins are struck, not poured into molds. The closest error would be a Cud or large die chip but they look a lot different than what appears on your coin.

Once you get an understanding of coin minting procedures, then you can determine errors from PMD.
