Parnelli917 Valued Member United States 392 Posts	Posted 08/22/2021 2:35 pm I was certain that I found a gum wrapper with some old dried-on gum on the reverse of this coin. Then I looked closely at the "foil". You can see a reverse image of the upper corner of the Memorial building (I think). Soaked it in acetone thinking the gum would dissolve. Nope. I know its not a pretty coin. But is it a lamination or just stubborn gum?! Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97685 Posts	Posted 08/22/2021 3:15 pm I'll vote for some kind of residue sticking to it. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
