All coins are good. it looks like there is something on your cent. soak it in acetone for 24 hrs and see if it comes off. Whatever it is, it happened after it was struck so it would be considered PMD. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19195 Posts	Posted 02/12/2023 07:42 am Yes, agree with the acetone soak as a first step. Are those 'woven' features raised, flush, or sunken (incuse)? Report this Post to the Staff
Danjor Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 02/12/2023 1:49 pm Looks like maybe was pressed up to some leather and left a stain. Acetone will tell all. Happy Hunting! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/13/2023 12:10 pm Looks like wet material with a strong mesh altered this coin in a cup holder. A struck through cloth would be a lot stronger: You would see where the material was not there and where is was there with incuse marks on a stuck through cloth issue coin.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 02/22/2023 05:02 am The little bit of soak shows it's something on the coin's surface, not stuck through. Part was removed, so a longer soak would remove even more. Environmental staining and/or discolouration, post mint damage, no premium I'm afraid. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
