That 'stuff' on the obverse appears to be dried gunk on the coin's surface--not a lamination issue. That gunk would likely be eliminated or reduced by a soak in 100% acetone. The mint mark doesn't appear to have any issues--my opinion given the posted pics..

Just stains from some sticky residue on the obverse. The mint mark is normal as well. No errors. Although it's 90% silver, so it's a keeper.
Errers and Varietys.

If it is legit, acetone will not hurt it. Also, please, in the future, please do not post photos of scope screens. Use the memory card or a USB cable to transfer images. We are getting numerous complaints about these being posted by numerous users, so we going to start to crack down on them. |

I would set this quarter aside then. Label it as suspect and try the acetone when you can. No need to be in a hurry! Worst case it is still a silver quarter and worth keeping, not spending.  |

looking at the shadows, it does appear to be incuse to me (but my eyes can be playing tricks)
do me a favor and turn the coin upside down (Still showing the obverse side) and keep the lighting where is was in your last image and take a new one. I would like to see if the shadows change.

Come on Dearborn.  ..no need to string the poster along requesting more photos...we all know it's some type of foreign substance like glue. |

(Besides, I'm curious to see different angled of this.) ...and please keep your darn hands off me. I don't need a public flogging simply cause I'm asking for more complete information. Also - if you are to quote me, include my entire statement if you please. |
