1982fan New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 01/13/2024 08:51 am Just curious if anyone has any ideas on why there are silver/grey colored blobs coming out of this copper coin? Tried to get decent pictures but didn't have much luck. I tried picking at it since I thought it was something stuck to it,and that's when I discovered the blobs are actually a part of the coin. I'm new to all this, so any thoughts are appreciated! The blobs look whitish in the photo but under light are a bright reflective silver. Report this Post to the Staff

1982fan New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 01/13/2024 09:07 am That's what I was thinking at first, tin foil, but there are other blobs in different areas I couldn't get a good picture of. Two are round and one looks like a dash in between the I and N, next to this big blob. And picking at it wasn't getting it loose. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 01/13/2024 2:13 pm Whatever the blobs are, it is clear that they became attached to this coin after it was struck.

Sap Moderator Australia 16816 Posts	Posted 01/15/2024 10:12 pm It cannot be "part of the coin", because being a pre-1982 cent, this coin is made of bronze; it does not have any silvery metal inside it to "break out". The piece of silvery metal must therefore be attached to the coin's surface in some way. If it appears to be stuck there fast, then it's probably solder. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
