Hello fellow collectors, I do have a question about this Lincoln cent that I found it a bank roll several years ago! Anybody has any idea of how this "stones" got encrusted on this coin! Cannot see any heat source or scratches when this process happened? I am wondering for years already about it, but so far no one can give me any idea! Thanks!
I hope I loaded the pictures?

    That’s just some glitter that a kid probably stuck/glued onto it. Nothing worth commanding a premium.

    Whatever the cause, it could not have happened when the coin was struck so it is some sort of damage.
    Soak it in acetone for a couple of hours and see if it comes off.

    Anybody else, with another idea? And just for the record, I am saying it once again these "Stones" are encrusted on the coin, they are flat with the coin surface! And there are no scratches or damage! Thanks all fellow collectos!

    It was not done at the mint.

    Who/what/where/when it happened is just speculation. There is probably a thin layer of glue on the coin that is holding the glorified glitter in place. An acetone soak would probably dissolve it.

    Welcome to the forum! :)

    As mentioned it's glitter on the coin not stones. ;)

    Again, please soak your coin in acetone. If they were “ stones”, then how could you have them overlapping one another. As previously mentioned, it is some sort of glitter and is in no way
    any sort of an error.

    No. We nailed it the first time.

    Don't ne concerned spending time cleaning it up. Just put it back into circulstion. However, you could use it as a test coin for different cleaning products.

    Did you know a 75th anniversary, also called a diamond jubilee.
    Anniversaries include the Diamond Jubilee of the U.S. Air Force, and excludes this cent.
