Not sure if it will devalue it by removing it from that plastic wrapper they came in to take a better pic, but they aren't worth much anyway. I bought this same coin back in the 90's. It is actually made of copper nickel not silver.

Or potentially, could you just rotate the coin slightly within the plastic sleeve? That would let you know whether this extra stuff is on the coin or on the plastic.
