Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/03/2021 6:23 pm Nice find for sure. I think Zincolns are inherently unstable. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34457 Posts	Posted 10/03/2021 7:34 pm We don't typically see them at that location. Well done @cons. For sure store in low humidity to slow the zinc deterioration.

Cons Valued Member United States 399 Posts	Posted 10/03/2021 7:42 pm Appreciate the comments CoinHi and Spence. Do you think soaking it in acetone overnight would help as well? Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/04/2021 09:41 am Quote: Thanks John. Any suggestions on arresting the zinc rot? 100% pure acetone and if that doesn't help maybe try Verdi-Care. Then put in a 2x2 and make sure to flatten the staples. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7124 Posts	Posted 10/04/2021 11:52 am I'm not seeing much on the way of zinc rot...that being said, DO NOT soak over night maybe 20 minutes to hour but keep a eye on it. Experiment with a junk coin on soaking,..... I once forgot about a soaking and the next day the cent was completely black. Report this Post to the Staff
