Dearborn Moderator United States 94932 Posts	Posted 10/16/2025 6:31 pm don't think that 'clamshell' applies to full copper coins, a stain as mentioned is a possibility. Collecting since 1972.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24992 Posts	Posted 10/16/2025 8:06 pm I'm with -makecents- as it does not look like a stain to me. Folded Rim Fin or lam, possibly. But an acetone soak would certainly help. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
