If it's just glue, you may be able to chip some away with a wooden toothpick. Let us know if you think it may be glue. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff

A carefully-administered bath in acetone might also help. Unfortunately, this area might have been protected from oxidizing and when removed, the coin would then be unevenly toned. Otherwise, it is a pretty nice early Wheat cent.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 06/06/2020 10:03 pm Nothing "normal" about this cent, nor is it an error. It did not leave the mint looking like this. PMD. Report this Post to the Staff
