Coinmeg New Member Canada 2 Posts	Posted 05/20/2024 03:35 am I don't have the greatest camera, sorry, but one side of the coin has a bunch of tiny crater-like holes and the metal is a different color around all the lettering. Curious as to what could have caused this. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19126 Posts	Posted 05/20/2024 07:23 am Yes, appears to be post-strike damage. A soak in 100% acetone may reduce or eliminate the issue. Does the reverse look the same or different? Report this Post to the Staff

Sharks Pillar of the Community Canada 1761 Posts	Posted 05/20/2024 1:29 pm @Coinmeg - A good soak in acetone might help, but I doubt it. Environmental damage and appears some Coin Wrapping Machine Damage. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinmeg New Member Canada 2 Posts	Posted 05/20/2024 1:38 pm Here is the other side. It has the same holes. I did clean the coin and there is no residue or anything on it. Either way I'll probably keep it just because I like how the queen kinda looks like a zombie, it's interesting. Report this Post to the Staff
