Telliott007 Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 05/02/2021 3:29 pm Is it Popeye or Humpty Dumpty? Found this dime in my change and it looks like it.could be lamination error? I need your expertise. Does it look like an eagle above his ear? What are your thoughts? Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 05/02/2021 3:34 pm Is this material on top of the coin. If so it's probably glue. An acetone soak will dissolve it. Keep hunting Report this Post to the Staff
Telliott007 Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 05/02/2021 3:45 pm You're suppose to say it's a great find! I'll try the acetone. Maybe it is humpty and someone glued him back together #129318;#8205;#9792;#65039; I do see double strikes on his face and his eye looks popped out. Report this Post to the Staff
Telliott007 Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 05/02/2021 3:46 pm By the way. doesn't look like material. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 05/02/2021 4:00 pm I think you should research mint errors a bit, Telliott. I see no evidence of doubling, and certainly not a double strike. I would look up doubled dies and read about them, and then look up double strikes in the collar and read about that (two very different things). Report this Post to the Staff
silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 05/02/2021 4:17 pm looks like some type of glue substance on the surface of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/02/2021 4:40 pm Not an error. Something is "adhered" to the coin. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Telliott007 Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 05/02/2021 4:52 pm Here's another pic. I turned it upside down so you can see it better. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 05/02/2021 4:58 pm @Telliott007 the second picture changes my opinion. It's upside-down glue now. Report this Post to the Staff
Telliott007 Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 05/02/2021 5:15 pm Smiling. I'll try the acetone tonight and see what it looks like. Some pics you can see doubling on the ear. Thank you Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95755 Posts	Posted 05/02/2021 6:13 pm Still looks like glue on it, even upside down.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/02/2021 6:19 pm First clue it is glue like Elmer's is you can see through it. Other glues that are not see through and solder hide what is underneath. But when you see through it glue or clear nail polish, varnish, lacquer. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/03/2021 04:34 am Keep in mind that acetone does not remove everything. If it is epoxy acetone will not remove it, if it is Elmers acetone will not remove it. But it still is some type of "glue". John1 Report this Post to the Staff
