merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 08/02/2020 7:09 pm I agree with coop... either a dries substance on the surface of this coin, or a stain. No minting error, no premium. And as others have mentioned, about 500 too many photos. Live and learn. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
GotCoins2020 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 08/03/2020 10:58 am here it is, you're all right, nothing but a foreign substance! Couldn't find 100% acetone so I used a product called Penny Brite. Edited by GotCoins2020 08/03/2020 11:05 am Report this Post to the Staff
Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7038 Posts	Posted 08/03/2020 7:48 pm Thankfully your cent was not an "error" coin and not worth more than face value so the "Penny brite" didn't cause any value lost, however do not use it on any cents you might believe has some value because all value would be lost due to improper cleaning. Spend some time to locate 100% pure Acetone since it all not discolor copper nor cause damage. Most hardware stores carry it in either quart or gallon sizes....good luck and happy hunting...
