Thanks, here they are.
Looks like glue. Soak it in acetone for 20mins
That was my first thought but you can see that there is a ravine of sorts around it. I will throw it in some acetone and see what happens.

i'd load the images but they are 8-10x of the size they should be.

If it does not come off (and I do not think it will), then it appears to be a planchet flaw... though I have not seen one like that before... Please let us know, and more pictures may help. Cheers, RickO
It does appear to be a planchet flaw. This one is headed to my type book for now. I always enjoy different coins.
I wonder (just me wondering mind you) if some foreign metal, or piece of metal from another planchet got on top of the original planchet during the strike. Would the pressure be enough to fuse it as seen if this is what might have happened? The rest of the strike especially the date seems well struck for a peace dollar.
Did you soak it in acetone yet?
Soaked it and nothing. It is definitely a different piece of metal.
It is either a surface planchet flaw or a piece from another planchet that flaked off and adhered to this one prior to striking.... good pictures by the way... Cheers, RickO
