Meandice Valued Member Canada 256 Posts	Posted 04/05/2024 10:47 pm Hi all, Is this damage before I try to clean it off? The coin weight is 1.79g. The obverse appears clean. The reverse has no trace of the Bluenose showing. I took a pic with the flash to show what I think is some of the coin metal peeking through the white whatever. Is there anything in production that could cause this? Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5585 Posts	Posted 04/06/2024 07:37 am Is it powdery or hard? Soft or sticky? Have you just tried some water over the surface, preferable hot distilled? Report this Post to the Staff
Meandice Valued Member Canada 256 Posts	Posted 04/06/2024 08:11 am It is hard, like plaster. Nothing flaking or scraping off. I will soak in water... Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16816 Posts	Posted 04/06/2024 09:18 am I suspect it's a normal coin that was glued on to something; the white stuff is a combination of the glue and whatever surface it was glued on to. Perhaps it's somebody's "let's glue a coin onto the sidewalk and watch people try to pick it up" prank coin. 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
