Dearborn Moderator United States 96001 Posts	Posted 09/05/2023 7:38 pm It looks like a very old coating of lacquer was applied to this coin and now it is coming off - in my books it is now a damaged/altered coin. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 09/13/2023 12:26 pm Here is my MAD Morgan, and this is how far a Morgan has to be off to be slabbed as such. Report this Post to the Staff
smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 09/13/2023 12:38 pm That is damage on the rim. As for the stuff all over the coin, it could well be lacquer as suggested. I would give the coin a soak in acetone and see if it removes that. It would at least improve its appearance without harming the coin. And if it is lacquer, that would not damage or alter the coin. It is simply a coating that can be easily removed with nothing done to the coins surface. Once done, correctly, you would never be able to tell it had been lacquered.
