Dearborn Moderator United States 97379 Posts	Posted 12/05/2021 2:54 pm I agree with some kind of a stain. Try an acetone bath for a day or two. (Keep the container covered tight to avoid evaporation.) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 12/05/2021 3:29 pm Might be a lam. Need zoomed in pictures, and a little better focus. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21632 Posts	Posted 12/05/2021 6:28 pm Don, it is best to start a new post for each coin as it can cause confusion with more than one on the same thread. Both of the coins shown are damage. Report this Post to the Staff
Don007 New Member Canada 26 Posts	Posted 12/05/2021 6:57 pm I washed the coin with vinegar cleaned it up somewhat but the blemish is still there could it be a flaw in the metal itself and does this make the coin valuable in any way Report this Post to the Staff
