I am not sure what it is on this coin. It isn't PVC. I may give it an olive oil soak.

What do you think of my 8 Doubles?

    To add. I do not know but I am pretty sure these would not be difficult to find.
    I don't have my books with me and can't estimate a value, number minted or other statistics.

    That looks like some kind of crud stuck betweent the denticles and devices. I bet it might come off with an olive oil soak and a gentle scrubbing with a soft toothbrush. It also appears that the coin has been washed with acetone (which tend to dry out the "crud" and leave it that very visible color).

    Nice photography and nice coin too!

    Thanks Jest..........sort of what I thought.

    It is going to have an olive oil bath. I cant see that it would hurt it.
