Reverse on the obverse in mirror image. Rim shows signs of three separate strikes. There is blobs all over it as well as areas that look to be part of the design but I don't recognize. Any help with this type of error and how it can occur would be much appreciated. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 10/29/2017 11:41 am @Ruby4321, I would soak the coin in acetone to see if this is just dried glue.

Ruby4321 New Member Australia 10 Posts	Posted 10/29/2017 6:13 pm Hello. Thanks for the replies. I didn't know gluing coins was a 'thing'. Made me have a closer look. Is acetone OK to soak coins in? @Coaster - The zero is not raised. Never noticed until you said that. Seems like an obvious thing to look for now. vise job as scstrawn said.

Definitely NOT Nail Polish remover type though! life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
