    Oh, I guess the coin was photographed raw if a TV. Blue ink on coin!

    I don't know, but I see some doubling. To be sure, we need to get that coin run over a few times and then posted by a new board member.

    Dried wax, maybe. With a hair or thread stuck in it.

    It's a private mark to denote the coin came from the collection of Ursula from The Little Mermaid.

    Looks like a paper shaving from a Whitman album.

    Dunno what the blue blob is, but that's a great strike on an early San Fran walker. Gorgeous!

    I think that it is a tsunami wave coming to destroy some oddly blue trees.

    It’s from the Forsythe set and it’s a pop 1 with none finer. Probably came from storage in an old album. With that color, strike and surface preservation, it wouldn’t bother me!!!

    On the obverse looks like a body of water, lake, in the middle of a desert.
