wheatchaser140 Pillar of the Community United States 2368 Posts	Posted 10/25/2014 6:33 pm I can't think of any error that would make a coin look like this. Maybe some guy from the 19th century got a little bored. It is weird looking. What does everyone else think? Report this Post to the Staff

Drsandman2 Pillar of the Community United States 1374 Posts	Posted 10/26/2014 11:00 pm Are you sure that is actually part of the coin? Looks like chewing gum, wax, or something. The color doesn't look original, so whatever it is could have taken on the coloring agent. Report this Post to the Staff

jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 10/27/2014 05:46 am Looks like glue or lacquer to me. Better pics would help. Report this Post to the Staff

amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 10/27/2014 11:45 am Has to be some sort of PMD....What does the reverse look like? Glue was my first thought as well....have you dipped it in acetone? Report this Post to the Staff
Waxemm Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 10/27/2014 11:55 am with the others. It looks like glue. Sometimes the glue appears to be metal taking in the color of the coin. I've had this fool me on more than one occasion. You might try a bit of acetone in a small spot like Amida suggested and see what that does. Report this Post to the Staff
Punchroo40 New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 10/27/2014 12:26 pm Reverse is normal I don't want to damage a XF AU coin Report this Post to the Staff
