ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19175 Posts	Posted 02/27/2023 5:10 pm For fun, suggest giving the coin a long soak in 100% acetone. Won't hurt a thing, might remove what appears to be the dried substance. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96615 Posts	Posted 02/27/2023 5:42 pm looks like glue. It quite possibly removed by an acetone soak. Collecting since 1972.
