Gigi2 Valued Member United States 319 Posts	Posted 03/06/2024 6:32 pm I had to clean this coin to even see the date.Because I knew it was ruined anyway, I decided to go full throttle. I soaked, rubbed, scrubbed with several different things and nothing much changed. What could be the cause of this finish, fire? Report this Post to the Staff
