1988 proof

I found this when doing a sort out.
The damage is raised on the coin and not incused.
Looks like the quality controll was slack the day this was minted.

Was there a lacqer layer that's peeled away?

I don't have any acetone to test this.
I will get some tomorrow, it doesn’t look translucent like glue/resin but I will give it a soak in acetone to try and fix this.
It is straight out of a mint box/airtight and came from the mint this way.
I hope it is resin and the acetone fixes this up.
I’m pretty sure that they would have picked this up if it was a fault with the die.
