MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 02/23/2025 09:27 am I see a lot of environmental damage on the reverse. Perhaps the raised areas are some type of adhesive An acetone soak should remove any glue. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19118 Posts	Posted 02/23/2025 09:51 am Yes, much accumulated crud--post-strike damage. Coin may have spent some time in moist soil or at the bottom of a poorly maintained fountain. Do try a long soak in 100% acetone. Report this Post to the Staff
Rubduck Valued Member United States 338 Posts	Posted 02/23/2025 09:53 am Ok nail polish remover the same? Report this Post to the Staff
MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 02/23/2025 10:08 am No, nail polish remover contains other additives. Only 100% pure acetone should be used on coins. In your case it doesn't matter because the coin is just a common spender. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73688 Posts	Posted 02/23/2025 12:26 pm Just an environmentally damaged coin with stains. Just a spender as it's not an error. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Your coin is indeed just stained and corroded, good coin to practice an acetone soak. Report this Post to the Staff
