My 43 war nickel has a coating of (I think) concrete over it. It does make sense because it was found right next to a concrete/metal platform holding a huge WWII cannon. I think it was under the dirt and when they were done building the platform they dumped some excess there and it soaked down into the ground. The soil was sandy so it stuck pretty good. I got it scraped down enough to see that it is an S mint mark so no go on the double stamped 43P Anyways it took surgical precision with a knife for 20 min. to get it that far. Thought about goof off but will that harm the silver? Thanks
