okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5585 Posts	Posted 08/02/2024 3:09 pm Is the area with the "defect" raised or recessed or just flat as is the field? If neither, does it look like something was spilled or dripped on it? Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 08/02/2024 3:46 pm Yeah, it does look like something was dripped or spilled on it. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
boagie18 New Member Canada 19 Posts	Posted 08/02/2024 5:18 pm It appears that it is raised in some areas but recessed in others. The date and the beads have not been affected so I assume the planchet might have been damaged. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73937 Posts	Posted 08/02/2024 11:43 pm My feeling was it's something on the coin. The acetone removed it, so there's your answer. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
