Mooley77 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 10/08/2020 12:07 am Hi Guys, I've had this coin in my possession going on a year, and I found it in a $25 coin roll box from the local bank. It looks amazing and it feels just crazy, But, have no idea what is going on with it, and would like some help please, Thanks As you can see the right portion of the coin is the top of the coin and is completely smooth, but still has a perfect print. The left side of this coin is the lower part of the coin and has its normal rough texture. Thanks for your help, any explanation as to what causes a coin like this would be appreciated Edited by Mooley77 10/08/2020 12:28 am Report this Post to the Staff

Mooley77 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 10/08/2020 12:19 am I have to disagree with you, there is no smudges from any type of glue being used.. If something was glued to the top, how can the coin have a perfect print on it that matches the left side? Also the long crack around the rim would indicate that it fits perfectly onto the rim?

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7512 Posts	Posted 10/08/2020 01:01 am Drop it in boiling water, it should all dissolve, if not, soak it in Acetone. it is a dried up foreign substance on this coin, whatever it maybe, it did not come out of mint that way!

Mooley77 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 10/08/2020 01:05 am @ Chase007 So would the top separate from the main coin in boiling water? Report this Post to the Staff
Mooley77 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 10/08/2020 01:26 am I have just put this coin into boiling water and left it in there for 5 mins. If anything it has revealed a new mark on the coin... Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 10/08/2020 02:57 am I also believe that there is something on the coin like glue or epoxy. Let's see what acetone does.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/08/2020 3:10 pm I guess a simpler solution would be, see if the raised devices, are raised on that area of the coin. If they are not raised, then they are covered over with something clear. That would be the first test on these. Report this Post to the Staff
