coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/11/2021 12:20 pm With it on the outside edge of the die, that was my thought also, rust. But rust would leave an incuse mark on the coin as the surface would be raised on the die from the rust, leaving an incuse mark on the coins. Report this Post to the Staff

I acetone that edge thinking it would come off but it even made it more distinct once I washed the crud from under the little "horny Toad" spikes? Weird? Report this Post to the Staff
