Thanks everyone!   *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

 You have glue on your coin. Another cent was glued face-to-face to yours. You can probably scrape it off or acetone may remove it if you wanna go to that length.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Yup...can't normally see through metal so the only way to read "Liberty" is through a clear substance aka glue or goop of some kind

Acetone does not remove "all" glues. It may be epoxy,and I don't think acetone removes that. What ever it is,it is adhered to the coin aka glue. John1 |

with all above, one simple clue is to be able to see and read the devices Underneath this substance, if it were metal then you wouldn't have been able to see through it.You need to let it go Edited by Chase007

It isn't zinc, it is transparent aluminum from the Star trek movie. since that comes from the future, your error won't be in the books for a couple of centuries.
KIDDING ASIDE,that is glue. If you only have 3 days of coin hunting, you may want to consider the opinions of those who have decades as being valid when it comes to error coins.

That's glue on your coin. It should come off, if you scrap it with a toothpick.
