kcowin797 New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 03/01/2025 2:19 pm Looks like it is flaking off, one side is loose so trying not to touch it, top side seems to be flush with coin so I don't think it is something that got pressed onto coin. Can I get some thoughts on this. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 03/01/2025 8:38 pm Any thoughts from folks as to whether to soak this in acetone to remove some of the surface dirt before storing? Obviously better to keep the lamination attached, so not I'm advocating for anything too extreme.

kcowin797 New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 03/01/2025 10:02 pm Thanks again everyone. Much appreciated, In reading up on them verdict seems to be mixed on whether or not it adds to the value or subtracts. What does your experience tell you on something like this?

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 03/03/2025 3:30 pm Nice lam. It's stuck on for 65 years, a little soak isn't going to harm it at all. Not much premium, maybe .25 Edited by Cujohn 03/03/2025 3:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
