It most likely be something common I just don't know. It looks interesting I thought. * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96842 Posts	Posted 07/02/2021 03:50 am someone had taped it into a folder to keep it from falling out. Collecting since 1972.

hokiefan_82 Pillar of the Community United States 3652 Posts	Posted 07/02/2021 1:49 pm As the others mentioned, acetone works well on removing old tape residue. Several years ago I inherited hundreds of foreign coins my uncle had completely covered with tape on the pages of a photo album. Been kept that way for at least a few decades, but the acetone bath cleaned them quite well. Just make sure you use pure acetone on coins, not nail polish remover. You can find pure acetone at any hardware store. Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.

realdeal101 Valued Member United States 113 Posts	Posted 07/02/2021 2:27 pm I tried using acetone it doesn't seem to work I only used it for 20 minutes .I think you are right it is tape residue because the mark fits the same size as as the tape I have here. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/02/2021 3:03 pm It could be glue stick? Someone was trying to post the reverse for a school project. Now the coin shows it had its time in the spot light, now back into circulation. And you found it. Report this Post to the Staff
