It's very important to have in the title. * I have find a 1969 D is a mint set with glue or wax all over the coin the coin seem it has a hard time at the mint. The strike though is between the rim and the letter B and I with there being some wax or glue between the letter E Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 02/18/2024 12:46 pm @lam, from these pics, it looks like there is some material (like clear wax or grease) that is on the surface of the coin still. Is that right?

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/18/2024 5:14 pm Lamont2655, I do not see how glue or wax would get on a coin in the mint,if anything it might be clear grease. With all the damage on the coin you could experiment on it with acetone. It still has silver value but no collector value. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 02/18/2024 6:14 pm to the CCF You say it's in a mint set. Is the black foam in the pictures part of the packaging? If it is, that's not a government package. It's a third party package. No telling where the coins came from. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95443 Posts	Posted 02/18/2024 8:46 pm does not look like a strike through to me. Strike throughs do not bring up a coins value unless it is very dramatic, like half of a coin. and This coin being so incredibly damaged, I would not have given it a second thought.
