Even though it would probably fit the generic term "grease" filled, the discoloration doesn't seem normal for grease. Obviously something was there, but it looks like a chemical reaction occurred from the substance.

I've never seen one with that much detail on Lincoln's face missing.   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk? Coin Talk Code of Honor 1.
