Zimmy Valued Member United States 461 Posts	Posted 05/06/2013 9:28 pm Tough to tell from the pictures but almost looks like clear glue on the coin that someone then impressed something into glue before it dried. Report this Post to the Staff

Zimmy Valued Member United States 461 Posts	Posted 05/07/2013 06:04 am Is the affected area raised above the surface or is it indented? Report this Post to the Staff
nitromicro New Member Canada 20 Posts	Posted 05/07/2013 07:01 am I would say slightly raised, again like a piece of plastic tape was on the blank. I'd be happy to let anyone in Ottawa look at it. Report this Post to the Staff
Zimmy Valued Member United States 461 Posts	Posted 05/07/2013 08:36 am My guess is still glue but I can't be sure just from pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 05/07/2013 09:28 am Are you a member of the Ottawa Numismatic Society (Coin Club)? Several members there are error collectors and would be happy to look at it for you...
