Hwy14 Valued Member United States 300 Posts	Posted 12/20/2017 2:06 pm Hey Guys, I had to clean this as the gunk was so thick I couldn't even read the date. What caught my attention was the word LIBERTY and the invisible rectangle it lives in was pronounced as if immune to the gunk. When I cleaned it, what looks like gouges appeared, like something going into the coin instead of coming out of it. It may mean nothing, but I had some fun with it. The black won't come off, shouldn't it be silvery inside? Report this Post to the Staff
