Shadyduk1979 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 01/13/2022 8:27 pm I started going through my investigate later bin of coins. This one has me stumped. If I didn't know better I would swar it has a bad casting. I think I can feel the imperfections on it but the more I try, the more I think it's my imagination. What do you all think this is?

Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 01/13/2022 8:50 pm @shad, yes very glad to have you as an active participant. My vote is that these parches on the fields are reside from this coin being held down by scotch tape. Something was in contact with the surfaces for a long time and left behind this residue. Also, remember that these coins are not cast, but rather struck.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19171 Posts	Posted 01/13/2022 9:03 pm A fun test would be to soak the coin in 100% acetone. Acetone will remove most dried adhesives, organic-based gunk, and other stuff. Report this Post to the Staff
