T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 07/10/2022 10:28 am Good common coin to experiment with . Try different things to remove that black mark , like WD-40 , Bleach , Gasoline , Paint Thinner , Epoxy ( remover - thinner ) , etc. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96315 Posts	Posted 07/10/2022 11:55 am if it is was from a sharpie, it should come off with 90% alcohol and a Q-tip. Could be from some kind of indelible ink.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/10/2022 12:00 pm A stain doesn't come off of a coin. It is into the metal already at this point. Just a stained coin now. Spender. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 07/10/2022 7:37 pm I've never seen black marker not come off with acetone. But that looks like what it is. As john asked raised or indented? Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21610 Posts	Posted 07/12/2022 1:08 pm Whatever the cause, it couldn't have happened during the striking of the coin so it has to be PMD. Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 07/12/2022 6:16 pm Not saying it is, if it's below the surface might be a struck through wire bristle. Then fell out during circulation? The black is the zinc starting to rot. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/12/2022 6:26 pm That even coloring and lack of any surface decay along the line is inconsistent with zinc exposure, I'm thinking. Report this Post to the Staff
