I have tried to look up what type of error that this could be, but soon became overwhelmed with all the new terminology. While researching, I ended up on types of striking errors, but then thought maybe I was looking to hard and that this coin my be damaged. Am I heading in the right direction with this coin? The size is a standard penny and it weighs 3.09 grams. Edited by KyWahine 09/11/2022 8:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff

KyWahine New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 09/11/2022 8:43 pm It is some kind of paint and some kind of residue attached to the paint on the reverse. I took a needle and scraped off some of it. It's caked on pretty good. I was afraid to scrub it or clean it, because I read that it isn't good to clean the coins. I suppose that doesn't apply to this coin. Thanks for your help. Live and learn. Report this Post to the Staff

The better the photos you post the better we can help you. 100% pure acetone,not standard nail polish remover works well. Read up on it before using it in the search box here on CCF.
