Why in the world would you even think this is some type of error.     Do you even know what acetone does, I can only guess that you don't from your question.   The obvious answer is the coin is stained, maybe buried in the ground, maybe in somebody's pits for a few years, anything but an error.   Have you spent any time looking over the reference sites you have been so generously provided by members here, or are you just going to continue to throw everything at the wall to see what will stick.   Keep it up and knowledgeable members will start to ignore your posts as a waste of time, which will only leave you with the misinformed members responding.

You don't have to have money to read and learn, but you do have to put forth the effort and actually do the work and read and learn.

These are my comments from another one of your earlier posts ...

Ebay and YT (except vids from like ANA, NGC or PCGS) are horrible places to learn about coins as evidenced by the coins posted so far and descriptions.  I recommend you start over from scratch beginning with the following topics, and also spend some time on Error-Ref.com if you are interested in error coins and then post more coins with questions.

https://boards.ngccoin.com/topic/428817-resources-for-new-collectors/

https://boards.ngccoin.com/topic/430263-basic-resources-glossary/

So what did you find on Error-Ref.com which might indicate this could be a mint error?

Wasn't intended as a slam the newbie post, and this is the newbie sub-forum, but honest questions or comments about previous advice already given to you.  It does get frustrating when it seems previous advice given is completely ignored.

    If you can't afford such basic numismatic references as a "Redbook" and a print grading guide, please use the free reliable online resources to which we have referred you.

    If you can only afford to collect coins from change, you would do better to save uncirculated coins that you receive at the bank or from cashiers that have just come from rolls of new coins. They will make for a much more appealing collection than the worn and corroded or damaged pieces you have been showing us, may ultimately have some value, and will be preserved for future generations of collectors. 

   Significant mint errors are hardly ever found in circulation, and without having basic knowledge about U.S. coins (types, dates and mintmarks and major varieties, grading, and the minting process), it is difficult to know what to even look for or to understand our explanations.  If you aren't willing to take the time and make the effort to learn, we can't help you.

I think you have been sitting in acetone too long.

Not an error, no acetone, and it has just spent a long time in a bad environment.

sorry i wont be back [thank] you for every thing  i don't like [...] supporters ... i don't measure up to your [...] standards

So that is how you react to honest comments about advice being completely ignored.  And if someone completely ignored your advice, and ended up being completely wrong again because they ignored that advice, you wouldn't get frustrated or react to being completely ignored and comment on that?  Yea sure, keep telling yourself that.

Another one for the "ignore list".so you wont be getting any further help from me, and likely others too.  And very derogatory remarks concerning Hitler are not called for and have been reported to the forum @Administrator [and subsequently scrubbed]

Or they could go to this big building with a lot of books in it called a "library" which usually has or can get copies of those basic books to borrow.

Hitler? Trump? What the … ? I was born 32 days after Albert Einstein died. My working theory was always that I was born to fill his niche.
