    Sounds like grime to me. I see a similar substance / condition on 1990s and late 1980s Kennedys. I don't know why for sure (although blaming casinos and post office vending machines makes sense) but 1970s issue Kennedys are always in better condition. Sometimes you see similar grime on Ikes, too.
