rookiecoinhunter New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 08/15/2019 02:29 am Hello Coin Community! I ran across this 1971 D Jefferson nickel and noticed something odd about the obverse next to Liberty and the Date. Can anyone help identify what this is? Thanks a bunch!

rookiecoinhunter New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 08/15/2019 03:08 am How does the glue actually cut a groove in the coin? Look at the "LIB" in Liberty and how the groove goes under the letters. Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 08/15/2019 10:54 pm What appears to be the glue running under the letters is where: 1. The glue coated the entire letters at one time - both the cavities (lower areas of design - like the holes in the letter B) and the members making up the letters themselves (higher areas of design - actual parts of the letters that form them). 2. As would be expected, the members of the letters, being higher areas, had the glue wear off of them through normal circulation, whereas the glue inside the cavities remained b/c it was protected from wearing off. Thus you have the illusion of the glue passing under the letters. There is nothing in the minting process that could have made your coin look like this. Acetone will likely remove the glue residue completely. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
