HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25478 Posts	Posted 02/28/2023 9:44 pm SomeGoodCents, have you tried an acetone soak? Also, have you tried prying it off with a soft plastic item? It really is a bizarre looking coin. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
SomeGoodCents Valued Member United States 238 Posts	Posted 02/28/2023 10:03 pm No I haven't tried anything, not even a lite Q-tip rub with grapeseed oil. It's as I originally found it, but surly someone did something along the way. I tend to agree with -makecents- explanation. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 03/01/2023 7:06 pm Looking at it again, I can see the F from OF. This wasn't added to, that circle is part of the coin. Still don't have an answer. There should be damage to the obverse, but there isn't any. I'm down to the three words men never say " I don't know". Report this Post to the Staff

The reverse is all messed up, flattened out and possibly has a curvature to the coin. Does it roll when you have it with the reverse facing up? I think there was something soft, like leather, on the obverse side and something rolled or smashed into the reverse. It looks like something was rolled across the reverse that raised the area in question to some extent, no extra metal, just misplaced, raising it up, slightly. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1590 Posts	Posted 03/02/2023 10:47 pm This was obviously part of the coin since it was minted. Hence it can not be POST mint damage. It was probably a damaged die of some sort that was caught before it produced many impressions. I had a jeff nickel that had the same type of damage. I'm an engineer and another engineer at my lab who was also a coin collector got into an arguement. We cut it apart in the lab and it was homogenous from the top of the feature to the other side. Shrugs....if it is homogenous then it has to be a die error. A circular void in the die. Report this Post to the Staff
SomeGoodCents Valued Member United States 238 Posts	Posted 03/04/2023 9:40 pm This apparent extra blob of cooper is still fascinating to me. No real explanation of correct weight leaves me completely satisfied. I suppose this is a coin that will be left for my family tree to decide.
