I dont mind the gung too much but if it was mine I would acetone it and see if it would clean that up which would bump the eye appeal Report this Post to the Staff

I know acetone and Classic Coin Conditioner are not comparable - acetone is probably the better solvent - however, which would you prefer in this case? Thanks!

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18732 Posts	Posted 06/29/2026 09:12 am Quote: Classic Coin Conditioner I'm sorry GERMANICVS, I'm not familiar with this product so I can only mention the acetone. if you go with the acetone, I would be inclined to place it on a window sill for a couple months to enhance the eye appeal. I would do the same with your other one. this one looks like it has started to retone after a dip which probably was quite a while ago. Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6399 Posts	Posted 06/29/2026 9:15 pm Agree with XF detail, with an old cleaning and possible ED around date and mintmark. Somewhat negative eye appeal and would almost certainly not grade problem-free. Acetone treatment can't hurt. Slow retoning on a windowsill or in a paper envelope might gradually improve the look.
