Wulff Nuts New Member South Africa 6 Posts	Posted 12/01/2021 07:52 am Good Day All I inherited a briefcase of U S coins from my Grand Dad. He used to travel to the United States every year for business and bring back coins in his pocket change. All the coins I have I am assuming that they nwould have only circulated for the year that they were minted. Looking at them some look like they have never circulated. He did have a few coins that came out of his "ERROR COINS" container, I am not sure how he came into possesion of these ones. I need some help in trying to figure this very narly looking Jefferson Coin out. The yellow resin stuff is for me is the mystery. Thanking All in advance for helping me figure this coin out.

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 12/01/2021 09:04 am looks like something on th coins. If it is a stuck through removing what is retained would lower the value. That being said I'm thinking something in on the coin rather then being struck through. If your not positive then I definitely agree with an acetone bath. Report this Post to the Staff
fplagge Pillar of the Community United States 659 Posts	Posted 12/01/2021 11:42 am Back in the day, some people would glue a string or thin wire to a coin in order to put into a coin slot to make a purchase and then retrieve the coin. Your coin might have been one of those. Report this Post to the Staff

Wulff Nuts New Member South Africa 6 Posts	Posted 12/01/2021 7:39 pm Thank You All For your valued input I have also taken a second look at it. I thought maybe it was somebody trying to attempt a restoration project on a strike through but I cant see anything on the reverse that would verify this. I agree that the acetone bath should be the next step.. If it is debris having the piece loose piece is still better than what it is now. I will keep you informed of the outcome Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/01/2021 9:58 pm I agree, it's something on the surface rather than struck-through, so not an error coin, just post mint damage. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/02/2021 04:28 am Keep in mind that acetone does not remove everything, so even after the acetone if the "stuff" is still there it is still not a struck through. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
