Cass1260 New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 04/05/2017 10:29 pm Hi. I'm Cassandra-a newbie! I have a 1988 penny that's kinda strange (to me at least). It has a greyish colored, raised material that looks (sort of) like a partial impression of Jefferson. Does anyone know what it could be? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Two pennies were stuck together with whatever that gunk is and the impression was left after separating them.

Cass1260 New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 04/05/2017 10:50 pm I've soaked in water and tried to get it off but it's stuck on there, whatever it is. I hope I'm not the only "glue on a penny" inquiry you've received. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 04/05/2017 11:20 pm to the family! Nope not first and won't be the last, seems a very common "gotcha" for beginners! A soak in acetone will help clean coins without damaging them, good for removing tape goo etc. Pure acetone, not nail polish remover. Report this Post to the Staff
