With the new pictures I agree this is just stained. The #1 rule in coins is don't clean or put anything on them, other than water or acetone. If this coin was worth anything, it isn't now.
OK cuJohn Let's just say I cleaned it with water for now have a look at the coin and notice the separation in the columns between the stain and the copper With that being said I certainly wouldn't want to throw away a one of a kind
Ok so I was told here to soke it in acetone for a couple of days so I did still looks like the second immage and it still looks like the metal is separating isn't this what makes a coin valuable totally unique from any other penny one of a kind thanks for your time and help I appreciate it.
