Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 12/22/2017 10:20 am This 1964 P quarter has an ink stamp to the right of the bust. I have gently cleaned it with a mild soap and it will not come off making me believe it was intentionally marked. If anyone knows what this could be it would be great! Report this Post to the Staff

USSID18 Pillar of the Community 5464 Posts	Posted 12/22/2017 10:31 am Don't clean it!... To late, you already did it. Don't clean coins. That spot could be anything, environmental damage, (post mint damage) a chemical of some type. I wouldn't necessarily say intentionally marked. That spot is most likely baked into the metal/coin and cannot be removed. Put it in a 2x2 flip and just leave it alone. It's still a nice "silver" coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 12/22/2017 11:16 am @jim0815, yes pretty hard to say what it is. Before you put it into a 2x2, consider giving it a dip in acetone. If that mark is in fact ink, that should remove it.

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 12/22/2017 11:22 am @Spence, Thank you for the advice. I know to use pure acetone and not nail polish remover. You guys on this site are great and I thank you. Report this Post to the Staff
