Dads Stuff Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Must be my day for questions. And I hope this isn't a stupid one. Please look at this Franklin. Part of the coin seems to have a milky or chalk like coating and the other part is very shiny. What is the stuff that is covering the shine? Thanks, Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDJMSP Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 To be quite honest it could be almost anything. And this will likely cause some major disagreement - and it ties in with one of your other questions - but I have seen coins that were dipped in acetone, and yes pure acetone, develop just that same look you describe. It does not happen all the time, but it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggAndyy Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 It looks like an old frosting job gone bad. It looks exactly like an uncirc franklin that got a shot or two of a broncile (sp) mister on the surface then some of it got wiped away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28Plain Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Could be hazing from adhesive residue that was partly cleaned with a solvent. Nice bell lines on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
