<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 523753, member: 4552&quot;]The spot is even with the surface of the coin so that would leave out drill holes, staple dents, punches or other similar things. If that spot is really even with the surface it might well be even paint, varnish or something similar. </p><p>Also, finger nail polish remover is normally an Acetone based solution and contains many other ingredients but should have worked if that spot was easily removable. </p><p>In the past I had a Dime with green paint on it. Not sure what kind of paint but Acetone, Paint thinner, lemon juice, Mineral spirits and lots and lots of other things just didn&#039;t work. Finally a mixture of baking soda and water solution did take off most of that but not all. I suspect it is some super paint like the stuff they use on highways. </p><p>Your spot is a real mistery. As long as your experimenting, try some Olive Oil. I&#039;ve never tried it on a coin but I&#039;ve read posts where people say it works miracles. </p><p>Look really close with a strong magnifier to see if that spot is in fact level with the coins surface.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
