I figure someone on the forum knows what it is! * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! * Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/18/2021 6:50 pm Depends. If it is raised it could be stick residue from tape, or damage to the die. If incuse, then the coin could have been altered. Report this Post to the Staff

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7513 Posts	Posted 12/19/2021 11:48 am It looks like some type of dried up residue to me as well, how about soaking it in Acetone for awhile and see if it dissolves. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 12/19/2021 2:44 pm I'm going with a lamination. It is on a unc coin. It hasn't seen any circulation to peel up or off yet. Report this Post to the Staff

It looks like Mr. Lincoln tried to put his hair up in a bun.. Ding! Ding! Ding! You are the man!. I went ahead and scratched it with my fingernail to see if it was raised or recessed and it was grease or at least that is what it seemed to be when I rubbed it between my fingers. It was in a pristine roll of 1953-s Lincolns. Could that have been grease from the mint? I often hear Grease Filled Die when a date or letters doesn't look full. Just asking? I also have a mintmark problem on the same coin . It's posted on the forum somewhere Report this Post to the Staff
