Keith67 Pillar of the Community United States 6538 Posts	Posted 04/25/2023 03:34 am Looks like glue. Report this Post to the Staff
Clwang Valued Member United States 336 Posts	Posted 04/25/2023 03:59 am It's not glue, I found 3 in a roll, all with different outlines Edited by Clwang 04/25/2023 04:12 am Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15419 Posts	Posted 04/25/2023 05:33 am It's some sort of substance that was applied to the coin after it left the mint. Glue, varnish - whatever it did not leave the mint that way. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19150 Posts	Posted 04/25/2023 07:10 am Yes, some form of died (once liquid/viscous) substance. Hoping there's a positive acetone outcome. Report this Post to the Staff
Clwang Valued Member United States 336 Posts	Posted 04/25/2023 07:49 am I soaked all 3 in acetone, very cool outcome! Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/25/2023 09:52 am Still looks like a foreign substance, lacquer perhaps. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/25/2023 09:54 am Might be epoxy. Acetone will not remove epoxy. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Clwang Valued Member United States 336 Posts	Posted 04/25/2023 11:10 am The substance on it did dissolve and come off, you'd have to see it in person Report this Post to the Staff
Keith67 Pillar of the Community United States 6538 Posts	Posted 04/25/2023 11:28 am When you soak a coin in acetone, you should leave it in there for 24 hours. But that my opinion. And you know what they say about those Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5668 Posts	Posted 04/25/2023 12:51 pm Acetone will also remove epoxy. But for glue, epoxy, lacquer, etc, it may take a much longer soak to dissolve all the substance off the coin. Looks like much of it came off with the initial soak. Report this Post to the Staff
