jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 03/27/2016 8:39 pm In the pictures I'm seeing shadows from the glue reflecting down on Lincoln.Last picture shows it pretty well. That in itself tells me the glue is on top of Lincoln Report this Post to the Staff
11997755 Pillar of the Community United States 2253 Posts	Posted 03/27/2016 8:45 pm Kind of shines like glue on the right side of Lincoln. Report this Post to the Staff
tapapple65 Pillar of the Community United States 538 Posts	Posted 03/27/2016 8:49 pm Logically speaking glue does seem to be the culprit on this coin but it still doesn't explain the part over the memorial. Report this Post to the Staff
BlueSolo Pillar of the Community United States 740 Posts	Posted 03/27/2016 8:59 pm Acetone and watch the obverse memorial disappear! What part over the memorial? On the reverse memorial or obverse one? Reverse memorial is weak/grease struck Edited by BlueSolo 03/27/2016 9:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 03/27/2016 9:17 pm That's an odd one. I have no glue what it could be. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 03/27/2016 9:34 pm Lincoln looks like he's wearing a collar for a broken neck. Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 03/27/2016 9:56 pm I agree with glue. Quote: Acetone and watch the obverse memorial disappear! Good idea. If you're still not sure, give it an acetone bath. It won't damage the metal, but if it's just glue you'll be able to tell. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/27/2016 11:05 pm It is. Note the bay that chipped in the center of the neck/collar area? Just glue. This may have been done years ago covering part of the plating that hadn't change color? Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 03/27/2016 11:44 pm It got "behind the collar" as part of the glue peeled. Report this Post to the Staff
