The acetone will melt the crap right off. I found some fingernail polish remover that says it's pure acetone, but I haven't had an opportunity to try it yet.
I have to ask justcoins.... What are you talking about with respect to plating bubbles and such. The coin is dated 1980...no plating Anyway..It does appear to be brush strokes of some sort. Let us know what happens with the acetone. Thanks, Bill
Thanks guys, I will have to go into town today and find someone who sells pure acetone. Hopefully will have pictures later today.
Well now his last pic identifies that this is nail polishand now it has been established, and I said that from the beginning that it looked like glue or some starnge substance Smudged in the fields. Jazzcoins
No need to post a last picture. YOU GUYS NAILED IT!!! When I applied the pure acetone, whatever it was, is completely off... looks like any ordinary 1980 reverse coin. I want to thank you all, it was quite a learning experience for me.
Yes you did say that but immediately changed your opinion to , 'What it looks like to me with the new pics They look like an invasion of huge elongated gas bubbles' I mentioned this to clear up the confusion with your recent comments.
I will not bicker with you since we were already warned from D orc. I just want to clear it up to show you what I ment. I said from the beginning of the first pic that it was a substance possible glue on the surface, The second pic he posted looked different as you know how pics are when taking from different angles I said now it looks like an invasion of elongated gas bubbles only by the new pic. The third pic confirmed that already when i stated that with the new pic now you could tell that's polish on the surface of the coin. There was no confusion, because it was cleared up in the thread already See what I mean D Orc it;s not me sorry D ORC Jazzcoins Joe I will not fall in your trap as well as another individual is trying to do i'm always a step ahead. I do apoligize what i'm stating here D ORC i don't mean to bicker,but please read the thread and see what I mean Thank you
Just thought I would ask lately in the error section if you post anything your going to get trashed. Why is that? we all are just trying to show off what we found.not start a war of words & name calling
nobody was trashing anyone. it was merely pointed out that just coins comment about gas bubbles in the plating wasn't possible because the coun predated plating. instead of acknowledging he made a mistake Just coins decided to deny what the posts clearly stated. He has told me I need to grow up and i was just expecting him to dothe same by admitting when he made a mistake instead of denying. If this is trashing then i guess we are all just children that need to be protected from reality Just my opinion Richard
Again excuss me De orc buti'm just trying to clear this up , and this has been cleared up already my comment on that was because , the different pics the op posted angles of the coin could be different views , and then with another pic which was his last i did clarfiy, and made my self clear that it was die polish whoever reads through the thread will see that. I was right from the first comment I made , and everyybody will see that i was not wrong, just wanted to clear that up DE ORC. Sorry but this is funny. JC :whistle:
