Alonzowick90 Pillar of the Community United States 654 Posts	Posted 04/01/2024 8:51 pm I just noticed a little die chip maybe? Report this Post to the Staff
nfine Pillar of the Community United States 3469 Posts	Posted 04/01/2024 8:55 pm The large covered area looks like glue and the suspected die chip looks like a drop of that same substance. Give it an acetone soak in a covered container. Edited by nfine 04/01/2024 8:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95740 Posts	Posted 04/01/2024 9:06 pm Also expect your post to get relocated - It will end up in the 'modern error' area.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/02/2024 04:07 am Not a good idea to scrub coins with a toothbrush. Do not clean modern coins unless you know what you are doing is a general rule. Acetone does not work on all adhesives, like epoxy for example. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
