Coinerin New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 11/19/2020 7:11 pm I am sorry, still new, glue from what? Being handed around or processed? I have scratched at the edges and they feel raised and metal like? Edited by Coinerin 11/19/2020 7:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff

The harder types are acrylic/epoxy/super glue. (The list can go on and on) These may just peel off the coin with a fingernail? or have to be dissolved, with something like lacquer thinner. Sometimes it is permanent. But it is not a mint error, so it can be spent if it is not a variety coin. Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 11/19/2020 10:51 pm I agree with all of the above. Who knows how your cents were used/abused, they just are now. The longer soft adhesives (like clear tape) sit on the coin's surface, the harder they become. Bottomline: your cents were not damaged at the mint, they did not leave the mint looking like yours. This is simply post mint damage ( PMD). Report this Post to the Staff
