NCB2018 New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 02/21/2022 8:20 pm I found this Lincoln Penny with something on the back. It dies not remove even with a sharp knife. Any ideas? Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 02/21/2022 8:34 pm @ncb, first welcome to CCF. Second, please put down the knife. No numismatic good will come from wielding that near your coins. Finally, I agree that having a better pic would help. Thx.

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 02/21/2022 8:45 pm Ok yep that is much better thx. For sure something is stuck to the reverse of this cent. Could be an epoxy or solder. I wonder, could you please give us a weight? I'd expect it to be on the heavy side. Also, is there a similar patch of solder on the front?

Dearborn Moderator United States 95200 Posts	Posted 02/21/2022 9:04 pm yep, another Lincoln Cent was glued to this one. you can make out the impression of the bust in the glue/epoxy residue. May be possible to loosen it with a few days soaking in acetone. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19129 Posts	Posted 02/21/2022 9:26 pm Give the coin a long soak in 100% acetone--it might (might...) remove much or all of the crud (might). Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/22/2022 04:36 am . Looks like some type of adhesive. If it is epoxy, acetone will not remove it. If it were me, I would just spend it and move on. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
