Why is the lamination straight up? There was a little debris in that area so I soaked it in acetone and very LIGHTLY with a cotton swab tried to clean it. Now, I'm not sure how to store it. If I try to return it to its former position, it may break off. Anyway, the third image shows why I believe it may be a retained cud... it does touch the rim. Any thoughts?
Remember "stick 'em up!" Yeah, it's kinda like that. The coin is damaged and not worth saving. I fit were, people would be out there with their gouging tools making them by the thousands. That's the clue - if it can be made after the fact, it was.
