I just am not really sure who to send it to. I just started this hobby this year and mostly google things. Just found this forum through watching the youtube channel.

I can look at it for you but, I'm sticking by my assessment of a foreign substance on the surface

Wexler told me to put acetone on a coin I had sent him, he was right. It was a glue of some sort. I'm not suggesting this coin has glue on it but maybe a toothpick with a tiny drop of acetone on an end of the anomaly to find out for sure.

Yeah I would love to have somebody look at it and let me know if it is post or struck through.

If you have not tried the acetone yet, it may be a real quick way to find out if you need to send it to Paul as the substance may disappear. Acetone cannot hurt your coin in any way b/c it will not chemically react with metal.

But sending it to Paul is a good idea for sure.
