Have you tried cleaning it ? Alil soak in acetone ? Just seems like some PMD Blobs of who knows what but I'm sure if its going to come off acetone may help it .. did you poke it with a stick *toothpick?* |

I tried to scratch it off but no luck, its metal gunk of some kind. Speaking of cleaning coins, I know its bad to clean in any way if your collecting it but I have coins that I dug up with a metal detector and I want to clean off a little without destroying the coin, any ideas? I heard that baking soda and lemon jiuce works well but I thought that may damage the coin.

I honestly dont clean anything unless its just a temp hole filler for a book .
But if I do , all I have used is Acetone and water ... I know other maybe better to point you in a direction to clean something more drastic but all I have used is the acetone and water combo ..
I would still think this is some form of glue or something , but again thats just my guess ..

It looks like solder, maybe not a lead based but still solder.

"This is not super glue all over this coin, its not solder but I know what it could be, anyone else know what this stuff is?"
What do you think it could be? From what I can see in your pictures I see Dried on glue.Now maybe that's what it is not on the coin but that's what the pictures show

I bet it's hardened glue. Whatever it is, it's not an error.

The pictures may give it a dried glue look but when the light hits it from an angle, it looks like metal. It also feels like metal not plastic.

It may not be super glue but it is still glue of some sort.
