Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/13/2022 7:35 pm Looks like a foreign substance on the coin. Is it raised above the surface? to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
Aaronbodley413 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 04/13/2022 7:49 pm it is not raised, best way to describe it is like a layer is missing in the area Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21597 Posts	Posted 04/13/2022 8:27 pm to the CCF Looks like a large Struck Through Grease or something similar Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8742 Posts	Posted 04/13/2022 8:34 pm I agree with JimmyD. The heat of the strike with the grease did this. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1484 Posts	Posted 04/13/2022 8:55 pm Nice find if Struck Through Grease. My first thought was acid, but acid would have eaten through the copper and into the zinc core. Report this Post to the Staff

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 04/14/2022 06:13 am Look like the shrinks are after the strike. In 2020 the oilmen solution for striking need 300 deg C. to solidify. for me is really bizarre so big surface. I see the letters under this shrinks. More chime are need. Me I say characteristic to acid. Report this Post to the Staff
