Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 10/28/2020 5:32 pm Is that glue residue from another coin being stuck to it? Hard to tell in the pics, but it could be. We have seen this in the past. Try an acetone dip to see if it comes off. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

I am leaning towards after market damage, as there is a lot going on here.. Waiting for SPP, to weigh in.. Report this Post to the Staff

If it were my coin, and given that is a common specimen strike (BU) silver dollar, I would give it a dip in silver cleaner first, then a bath in acetone, and then see what I had...
