jmewrites Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 01/31/2019 12:09 am This cent has some material embedded on obverse side of cent. It looks like plastic. I took a picture at a slight angle of the large piece of material to show that the material is embedded into the cent. I took another picture of the small piece embedded on the south side of the coin, but it did not show the buildup around the cent like the large piece on the north. Whether it has value or not it is a keeper to me. Ive been to three county fairs and two goat ropings and I ain't never seen nothing like this before. Any help identifying the cause of this is greatly appreciated. jmewrites Report this Post to the Staff

You can see the chop marks in the coin where someone was chipping it off at some point. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 01/31/2019 12:36 pm I'm pretty sure I can see that it's a clear substance that has been partially removed from the surface. I'm looking especially just to the right of the second T in TRUST. There is a ledge where the substance has been partially cracked off. The dings on the surface of the coin would be consistent with someone striking the clear substance with something leaving the types of edge cracks I mentioned.

jmewrites Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 02/02/2019 9:02 pm Thank you everyone for all the comments. I appreciate your time and trouble. Sorry about the pictures. I'm working on that. I agree that most is PMD, but I'm not entirely sure of the clear material. Thank you again. jmewrites Report this Post to the Staff
