ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19214 Posts	Posted 08/06/2021 4:39 pm Interesting. Which surface is higher? Typically, zinc core Lincoln cents don't have lamination issues since the copper is plated. Almost (almost) looks like a thin, clear-ish adhesive covering a portion of the obverse. Try a dip in acetone. Edited by ijn1944 08/06/2021 4:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff

It was probably in a Whitman folder and wouldn't stay in so it was taped in place.. We have seen this many times.. An acetone bath will remove the residue. (use pure acetone NOT nail polish remover, as it has impurities in it and will ruin the finish) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
