I might chip off, or you can soak it in acetone to see if it dissolves it. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 07/06/2024 1:51 pm A new shield cent was pressed into the nickel, most likely in a vise. Normally you can tell because the lettering is backward. Notice how unum is on the wrong side? If that was done by a die, it would be on the right side instead of the left.

Dearborn Moderator United States 105745 Posts	Posted 07/06/2024 2:12 pm to CCF. as Yoko stated, there is glue on this coin. The glue was used to make an impression of another coin on this one. A good acetone soak should relieve the coin of its burden. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

We get an occasional member that leaves here in a tough "knowing" it's not glue and sure we have no idea what we're talking about. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff
