Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5774 Posts	Posted 07/03/2023 10:00 pm This is an odd one. It sure looks like tape residue. The anomaly looks to be about 1/3 the width of the coin which would make it about 1/4" wide. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
Cecilia Sowinski Valued Member United States 171 Posts	Posted 07/04/2023 01:58 am Any ideas what else it could be? I agree with it looking like a piece of tape was on it leaving residue. Its a perfect match for that type of thing. However the acetone should have removed it if it was residue. The acetone didn't do anything to whatever it is. I am also stumped on this one.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/04/2023 06:49 am 100% pure acetone did nothing,so maybe it is some type of epoxy? Not sure but maybe Zylen works on epoxy?Wait for other members input.It for sure is something on the coin and not a lamination. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 07/04/2023 3:56 pm Me I use isopropyl alcohol for epoxy, some paint or tape glue. another I use sometimes is Goo Gone Bandage & Adhesive Remover (not many time due the price and is good for skin so I prefer the isopropyl first..

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 07/05/2023 5:04 pm We all thought it was tape. The one other thing I can think of is that it's a black mark from an old coin counting machine. These machines had a black rubber "tire" molded onto a wheel. The wheel would turn very fast and grab the coin and shoot it out as it counted it. I've seen coins in OBW rolls that had these marks. It they didn't have the machine set right, they would leave rubber marks on the coin like car tires and pavement. The rubber would wear off, but the damage to the coin wouldn't. That's all I got.
