Arkie Pillar of the Community United States 2637 Posts	Posted 09/06/2016 11:12 pm I don't know what to call this. Bought an 1885 P Morgan at a cull price; when I got it home, I found where there was additional metal at the M in America. What causes it? What is it called? Sorry that I only have a scanner.

Arkie Pillar of the Community United States 2637 Posts	Posted 09/07/2016 10:54 am Would those result in additional metal on the planchet? Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/07/2016 11:02 am A lam would not "add" metal to a coin and a struck through might like a struck through foil if the foil "stuck" to the coin.Also, a Cud doesn't "add" metal to a coin either it just re-positions it.

AU90o Valued Member United States 199 Posts	Posted 09/08/2016 2:27 pm Probably dried glue. Give it a nice acetone bath for an hour or so. It will melt away glue and other gunk and not hurting the coin. Use real acetone from hardware store, not the one to remove nail polish :). Report this Post to the Staff
Mikeymus Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 09/08/2016 4:22 pm AU90o did you notice anything off about the right wing on the eagle? Looks like there is some metal missing from it. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/09/2016 09:45 am It looks like part of the thin lamination on the 'M'. It may have extended to the missing area on the wind that look like a triangle. Report this Post to the Staff
