Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 10/26/2022 9:17 pm The picture of the REV makes me think this is a clear foreign substance on the coin. Not unusual to find. A 30 second dip in pure acetone would likely remove the substance. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Sap Moderator Australia 16842 Posts	Posted 10/26/2022 9:40 pm I'd agree with the superglue theory. From the looks of it, I'd guess someone glued it to the sidewalk, where it stayed for a while getting all scuffed and damaged, until eventually someone prised it free (creating the damage on the rim). A "shattered die" would create raised lines on the coin's surface, not cracks. For a die to create what looks like a crack, it would need to have an "anti-crack" - a raised line on the die itself. And there's no real easy way for a die to acquire a raised line. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
