Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 08/27/2025 5:44 pm This looks to be solder on a coin. Nothing like this can be made in the minting process. Also might be some sulver paint as well. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19155 Posts	Posted 08/27/2025 5:53 pm Yes, post-strike damage. Perhaps the coin came into contact with paint (or some other 'colored' liquid) which eventually dried, leaving behind a 'film' of pigment/crud. Looks like there's significant build-up on the reverse. For fun (and learning), it might be cool to give the coin a long soak in 100% acetone--might reduce or nearly eliminate the crud. Report this Post to the Staff

I6609 Pillar of the Community United States 1231 Posts	Posted 08/27/2025 7:30 pm The weight of this coin I would think it to be heavy especially if it is solder. That was my first thought. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95984 Posts	Posted 08/27/2025 10:06 pm could be solder, or silver paint. I wonder why the left side is so perfectly straight - like it was taped off or something.
