Canacoins Pillar of the Community Canada 955 Posts	Posted 11/04/2017 11:00 pm I bought this recently, why? Good question . I didn't see any of its "features" until after a quick acetone bath , q-tip and a thorn . The under lying condition was a bit of a shock. The dark spots are actually polished coin surface A little better detail Another " what a shame" to add to the others I have . And lastly , is this a partial clip? Report this Post to the Staff

DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 11/05/2017 09:13 am All of that material being pushed down in between each of the affected denticles kind of gives that PMD away, ..don't you think..? Report this Post to the Staff

Canacoins Pillar of the Community Canada 955 Posts	Posted 11/05/2017 10:54 pm Devlec , I don't know the exact process that causes a clip but I have a clearer idea now . I imagined that the pushed material was a left over of a improper clip. Thx And I just noticed now that the 5th pic should have an above shot of the area in question . Here it is anyways Edited by Canacoins 11/05/2017 10:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
unruhjonny Pillar of the Community Canada 514 Posts	Posted 11/07/2017 2:10 pm am I the only one who is guessing that the acetone bath probably took all of the coin's character? I love these first year Canadian coins... but can't afford to buy them... Report this Post to the Staff
Canacoins Pillar of the Community Canada 955 Posts	Posted 11/18/2017 01:09 am All the acetone did was remove the dirt , this was already on the coin. To me it looks environmental that a rescue was attempted (harshly) and failed.There isn't a lot of wear on it (at least whats possible to see) Report this Post to the Staff
