A little while ago I found this Alaska State Quarter and I noticed that it had something weird on the reverse. It almost looks like there is something stuck on it or like a layer has been peeled off. I am still learning to spot things so if you could help and explain it to me I would appreciate it! Hope you all have a wonderful day! Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74905 Posts	Posted 04/21/2019 5:04 pm Follow John1's advice. Purchase 100% pure Acetone and dip your coin in it, inside a container. It should come off easily. And don't worry, it won't harm the coin at all. It's safe to use. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Vivian410 Valued Member United States 119 Posts	Posted 04/21/2019 6:02 pm Ok thanks! I will give it a try and see if that works. When you say dip do you literally mean dip it? And for how long? Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74905 Posts	Posted 04/21/2019 6:08 pm Vivian410, yes, dip it. I would leave it in there for a maximum of 2 hours. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
