Domain555 Pillar of the Community United States 1804 Posts	Posted 02/04/2015 4:15 pm This is one of the 2 IKEs in question with this thread. This coin has been ABUSED and is not issue free. Looks like some one put a grinder or power polisher on both sides, when I got it, in a BAG. 2 weeks of ACETONE and eraser work did remove most of the black stuff. Will photo, and post the other (better) IKE asap. Thanks for all patients. Report this Post to the Staff

shadz Pillar of the Community 1325 Posts	Posted 02/13/2015 11:25 pm The way the obverses are worn around the rim mostly looks like they were ground or smoothed down to go into custom belt buckles back in the 70s. The bevel of the first one above looks like it was made to just fit into the bezel of the buckle. Has been a long time since I have seen a buckle like that fall apart or even a buckle like that but memory leads me to think that is what happened to these. There are obviously tons of other possibilities, but that is my best guess from the pics. That means the "black" stuff could have been tannin from the leather tarnishing them?
