ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19582 Posts	Posted 04/26/2023 9:56 pm I'm thinking post-mint event--appears to be some form of 'crud' on the coin's surface. Suggest giving the coin a long soak in 100% acetone. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 107152 Posts	Posted 04/26/2023 10:15 pm I agree, soak over night and see if it comes off. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Spence Moderator United States 34553 Posts	Posted 04/27/2023 07:03 am @ted, pls post a picture afterward as I think that this will be a good example of the dried glue (or whatever it is) having protected the coin's surface from oxidation. I suspect that underneath will be red rather than brown, like the rest of the surface.
