Sign of Omega Valued Member United States 52 Posts	Posted 05/18/2020 8:46 pm Found this in a penny roll. Same size and thickness as a penny. Thought at first someone had sanded off the embossing. Then it occurred to me it could me a un-embossed blank. It is copper. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 05/18/2020 9:22 pm I wouldn't clean it, but you could give it a bath in acetone. I agree with @jim0815 that t is important to get a weight on this piece.

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 05/18/2020 9:58 pm Wow, acetone did much more than I expected. I thought it was oxidization on the surface, which acetone wouldn't have removed. Looks possible, this is an interesting one for sure. I'll wait to hear what the experts say.
