NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 978 Posts	Posted 10/12/2024 2:44 pm When I originally scoped this one I thought there was some glue around the eye. I gave it a nice acetone bath and the issue remained. I then took some close up's and viola! The area in question was clearly raised metal. I'm assuming it is a die dent. However, it is in an unusual spot and an unusual shape. Your thoughts and opinions are most welcomed. "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 6994 Posts	Posted 10/12/2024 10:53 pm 1: Not all "glues" are dissolved by acetone..maybe try a longer soak like 2 or 3 days... 2: IMO I don't think it's a clash nor die dent 3: So that leaves me with a guess... how about a struck through copper foil, it's an odd enough shape. or 4: just spend it and forget about it.....

NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 978 Posts	Posted 10/12/2024 11:29 pm Candidate for my UFO file - won't be spending this one. Looked at a lot of coins over the years and this one is unique. Shape is most puzzling. Strike through of some kind is possible. "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD."
