[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 846047, member: 15929"][IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u8/lcl1119/Misc/4467744816_7660e179d8.jpg[/IMG] Back in the Juke Box days, it was not uncommon for proprietors to mark their coins wich fingernail polish to distinguish "house money" from actual income (i.e. customer money) These coins are occasionally seen in Kennedy Half Dollar Rolls. Your coin obviously represents some type of reference or identifying mark. Or perhaps someone was just screwing around with a cent? Since anybody with a punch and hammer can do this for any reason at all, I don't really see anything special or significant with your coin just like there is nothing significant with finding a Kennedy Half with red fingernail polish on it.
