You could try a new acetone soak, but not anything else. Otherwise, leave it be. I don’t know anything else that is safe to use, besides xylene...

Looks like a scuff of some sort. I don’t think it is a planchet flaw. Have you tried any acetone to see if it is a film or streak on the...
No. This is MD. Mechanical/Machine/Strike doubling…it has to do with the movement or shift of the planchet as it is being struck. Flat and...

Maybe you will accept an answer from another member. You’ll have to wait for someone else to respond.
Those are long scratches…not die break. PMD again…imo…Spark
This is just PMD. Somebody or many bodies tortured this coin to make it talk. Not a mint error. No value beyond face, and because it is...
The dot in question appears to be the same size as those 2 normal dots, so I suppose there there is a small probability it could be a “dropped...
You have to understand that with circulation wear everything starts to disappear. Any doubling and die markers will be very hard to pick up and...
It probably would, but why double up when you can just do it right once? Changing from a flip to a capsule is the better choice. I have had to...
