Acetone  You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

It would be interesting if you could please post a photo of it after you clean it up a bit. The scratches will still be there, but perhaps those nasty hairline squiggles will be gone?

Thank you all. I just picked up some acetone today and will give it a go and report back.

A few have mentioned giving it a long soak in acetone. I was under the impression that whatever acetone could do, it would do quickly and that there really isn't a point in soaking for more than 5 minutes. Is that not the case?

A long soak might be needed for heavy glue or a very oil and crud encrusted coin . You can soak a coin for days without damaging it .  |

photo skills not good. I viewed the video re coin photography and will get the equipment. the coins look much better visually than the photos depict.
