QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 05/14/2021 1:02 pm Finally! A coin that lives up to my name. Picked this up for $20 all said and done. Looks 100% genuine to me, weighs 4.9 grams, has weakness on the obverse as well. Excuse my terrible photography, I've had a terrible time getting pictures of this one. I'm used to photographing cents most of the time. Would it be safe to acetone dip this particular coin? It's got some dust on the reverse I want to get rid of, but I'm not sure if the exposed copper will be a problem. Edited by QuarterHoarder72 05/14/2021 1:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff

That Coin Dude Pillar of the Community United States 1427 Posts	Posted 05/14/2021 1:24 pm Can we see the edge? Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 05/14/2021 2:55 pm 99% of the "missing clad layer" coins we see just have ED, but this could be the real deal. Edge pictures will be useful, but the color, weight, and strike all check out. Edited by Numisma 05/14/2021 2:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/14/2021 7:11 pm Told you about the weakness of the devices on a missing clad? (I wonder?) Real deal. Thanks for the edge images, I'll add them to my educational files. Edited by coop 05/14/2021 7:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 05/14/2021 8:30 pm Very interesting - I would imagine finding one of these in circulation would be nil - so 20$ seems like a great deal!!! Report this Post to the Staff

No use for acetone if you don't really need it. Report this Post to the Staff
QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 05/14/2021 8:56 pm Thanks for all the responses! I learned most of the facts on missing clad from coop (including the weakness on the opposite side part), so I have him to thank for that. Pressurized air, not acetone. Got it.
