<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bdunnse, post: 1829087, member: 57317&quot;]Thanks again everyone. AU Details.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t believe I asked the D mint Type question...major duh moment.</p><p><br /></p><p>The pictures show the coin resting in only half of the holder, you are not seeing the coin through the plastic holder.</p><p><br /></p><p>Full disclosure time...the reverse side of this coin was covered in a thick and hardened layer of epoxy. A friend of mine who owns the coin took a sharp pointy tool and tried to scrape/pry the hardened epoxy off but all he ended up doing was leave a few scratches as noted above. Subsequently he soaked it in Goo Gone over night and pealed the epoxy off, then repeated the process until <i>all</i> of the epoxy was gone. The coin was in Goo Gone for a total of at least 48 hours. Pealing vs. scraping/scrubbing/rubbing the disolved epoxy saved the coin from further scratches. Also, it is really hard to tell the effects of the Goo Gone on the appearance - it kind of shined it up a bit but can you tell Goo Gone was used if you didn&#039;t know how it looked before soaking?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
