ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19203 Posts	Posted 06/06/2022 3:54 pm Suggest giving the coin a week-long soak in 100% acetone. Might clear-up some of the crud (perhaps). Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97310 Posts	Posted 06/06/2022 7:10 pm looks like it was submerged in something with 2 other coins on top of it. Collecting since 1972.

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 06/06/2022 7:30 pm This one is a bit weird. I'd be interested to see what it looks like when cleaned up a bit. In addition to the stuff going on with the front, the right wheat stalk might have a die chip and EPU looks oddly sunken.

Dearborn Moderator United States 97310 Posts	Posted 06/06/2022 8:49 pm Ok I took the OP's image and added his coin to it 3 times in different locations to simulate additional coins piled on top on the original cent. I used the OP's image several times to maintain the size and arc of the coin. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
