 to the CCF! At first glance I thought "Glue." Does the area in question seem raised above the field? It may flake off using the tip of a wooden toothpick or you can try soaking the coin in 100% acetone if you are comfortable using chemicals. Acetone can explode if handled incorrectly and it's a health risk. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

No not raised definitely not glue on there or any kind of post mint damage on there. We went through quite a few different post mint damage thoughts but it was determined not to be a post mint damage. There was a comment on the other forum site showing a 74 d that had a huge Cud error in almost exact spot but it was said that probably wasn't This case. |

It looks like a corrosive substance has eaten thru the surface, now what? I'm not sure, it could have been any type of liquid.

If there is not glue present, it maybe a struck through string on your coin. But sure looks like glue on the first image.

With respect, I think we'd all feel better if you would soak this coin in acetone - please.  |

I will not put any coin in acetone I don't even know what the heck that is but I know enough not to clean coins or antiques. Do me a favor and don't ask again frogger

I just read that you can remove stuff or clean penny with acetone I guarantee though that if it's not some glue or other dirt it would hurt value and I will not let someone who isn't holding the coin in hand and seeing with naked eye determine that for me no way

Bakedpotato...Coinfrog has handled more coins of value than most of us here on CCF will ever have the slight chance of doing. Acetone will not de-value a coin (if used correctly) try it (acetone) on some beat-up junk coins and record the length of time per soak. As far as this coin I might go 30 minutes

Don't be rude to Coinfrog please. Use some sense please. If you do not put this coin into acetone, then your coin will remain 1 cent, and worth nothing more. Coinfrog has decades and decades of experience.
You can listen to our advice, or not. You seem to be one of those people that as soon as they see a youtube video about there 1943 steel cent being a million dollars, they look everywhere to confirm that they have the one, and no one can say otherwise or else they are considered an idiot by you.
I have very little respect for anyone like that. I myself am not an expert, I have tons to learn, but these guys are. Do not compare their advice in an insulting way to "Science."

It could be struck through string... But it actually has the appearance of more of a drag or scratch or scrape (something happening early in life... before tarnishing?) Maybe intentional... Just the way it seems to start deep near the rim and then the way it fades out on the right? I'm no "expert" but just telling what I see...  Not glue... I am pretty sure on that! |
