merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 01/18/2021 10:34 pm Please give us more details. Is it incuse? First guess is glue since features/lines can be seen though the shape. Report this Post to the Staff
TippyCanoe Pillar of the Community United States 607 Posts	Posted 01/18/2021 10:40 pm It doesn't appear to be raised, but I've been wrong before. You're right I'll give it an acetone bath and see if anything comes of it. TY Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 01/18/2021 11:01 pm It may not need acetone. If its just a strip of glue, perhaps a gentle push of a fingernail can pop it off? Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 01/19/2021 12:38 am It may be a retained strike through? See what happens with the acetone and maybe we will have some results? -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
TippyCanoe Pillar of the Community United States 607 Posts	Posted 01/21/2021 10:06 pm ok. so I've been busy with work and I inadvertently left this coin in an acetone bath for the last 48-72 hours. The result is the same. No change in the banana. So now what. Report this Post to the Staff

Jake the Dog Valued Member United States 226 Posts	Posted 01/22/2021 12:03 am To me it looks like struck thru and retained piece scrap, but hard to tell without having it in hand. Edited by Jake the Dog 01/22/2021 12:04 am Report this Post to the Staff
