Trying to decide if this is damage or a few baby cuds (or idb's? They're not quite touching the rim) It's hard to tell if they're raised or recessed, but light is shining off of the correct sides of I believe. And I have absolutely no idea what to think about the spot on Monticello... Thoughts?
Yes this Nickel is wacked out ! I don't know, die Cracks, damage on reverse,. Hard to say. Multiple things going on.
How would I check that. Drop it in a solvent of some sort? I actually have some Conserv, I wonder if that might work...
Probably adhesive. Might be a mailer coin, one sent in the mail glued to a card. 100% acetone soak would remove it, if it’s adhesive. JMHO
HA! Following @Robert Ransom's and @Danomite's analysis, I scratched it with a fingernail. IT WAS GLUE. Ok, pay no attention to this thread. They really need a delete thread button on here...
No delete button needed. The good thing to emerge from this thread for you and others is that glue on a coin can create the illusion of errors and you resolved your questions with a fingernail. Secondly, the safest route would have been to soak in acetone.
