Oijogja Pillar of the Community United States 715 Posts	Posted 01/10/2020 5:18 pm Gave it an acetone soak as suggested, and it still looks the same. Is this something of note or just a curiosity? Report this Post to the Staff
CherryPicker1 Pillar of the Community United States 646 Posts	Posted 01/10/2020 5:22 pm Very interesting. It looks exactly like something that glue would do, but you can see in the picture there's not glue on it. I'm honestly not sure what it is. Good eye finding it Report this Post to the Staff

Oijogja Pillar of the Community United States 715 Posts	Posted 01/10/2020 5:40 pm Yeah, I almost put something about broken glass in the description. I have not seen anything like this before. Interesting looking at the very least. Thanks everyone for input and taking a look. Report this Post to the Staff
sirguardian Valued Member United States 354 Posts	Posted 01/12/2020 8:53 pm I am also interested because I also have a similar one that I come to call The Charlotte's Web coin. Now I need to find it... Report this Post to the Staff
