<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sage Coin Nerd, post: 1483791, member: 38574&quot;]I am trying to take different pictures but so far I haven&#039;t been able to the ones that show what it is I am about to try and explain. To coincollect73- While I was carrying the coin in my pocket, that little blob thing fell off the coin. I was able to find the piece in my pocket and since it isn&#039;t connected to the coin anymore, I can inspect it a little more closely. It could be glue, but it really doesn&#039;t look or feel like it. I still think it&#039;s more like resin; clear/amber and somewhat brittle. The melted metal in it doesn&#039;t appear to be missing from the coin but more like &quot;extra&quot; metal, or something. The part underneath the blob is smooth and shiny. And if you look back at the first set of two pictures, those areas that look dull and hazy, seem to be just a little layer higher than the shiny places. Maybe at one time, there were more little blobs all over? As far as the &quot;indent&quot;&#039;s location, if looking at the reverse, the indent is at about 10:15ish while the blob is at 8:30ish (if that makes any sense).</p><p><br /></p><p>If the coin had been sitting in something corrorsive, wouldn&#039;t the silver parts show some kind of wear as well? I don&#039;t think the pictures show the copper having been eaten away. The silver top and bottom layers look like they are pealing away from the copper core. Other than the above issues, the coin itself seems to be in very good condition as far as wear is concerned. </p><p><br /></p><p>I will keep working on the pictures, are there any more suggestions? I appreciate the feedback <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
