INTERESTING: SOMETHING STRUCK WITH THE COIN

Anybody have any idea what happened here. little Philippines 5 cents had something between the dies when struck. Whatever it was is pretty thick as the dent in the coin is fairly deep. There's also something going on the other side as well. Mike

That's dried adhesive. That didn't happen during the minting of the coin.

 

Beat me to it.

 

Try a long soak in acetone and then a wooden tooth pick to remove it.

 

Looks like a two part epoxy mixture held the coin to the interior or exterior surface of a Jeepney for flashy decoration. I've seen it done before there.

 

nice coin tho

 

You guys were right. I soaked it over night in acetone and it's gone. Thanks, Mike

 

Looks like the famous Buttocks variety. <

 

You can remove that dried glue.
