Whoa! Great find!  BTW. Looks like almost total die separation with die cracks through "Motto and Quarter". Can't tell from pix, color off/flash/ angle? Are those apparent "holes" incuse (inward) or are they raised? Incuse is a sign of planchet lamination? flaw, raised is a die chip or in this size a Cud. Looks like latter to me. That coin's a mess, but is a keeper. Nice find. |

looks more like glue or some other adhesive that dried clear. I can see some of the device's & other design elements underneath. IMHO
Spendable

That's what I first thought as well. But the long cracks on the top and bottom are real, not tape or residual adheasive . .  |

As Homer Pyle would say,"well, gowl-lee!". As Max Smart would say, "missed it by that much!"  |

Ooops! I was wrong, you guys were right . . Decided to clean it and take another look . . It's some type of epoxy I suppose. Sometimes you try too hard to find an error and over look the obvious . .  |

Ya glue will fool you a lot. You just want it to be an error so much, you make up your mind it is. Acetone should take it off.

Sometimes people see what they want to see:  So when others mention what it is, they often doubt. But it is what it really is. |
