Jimbo48 Valued Member United States 268 Posts	Posted Yesterday 10:19 pm I recently purchased the coin displayed below for a very low cost. The obverse looks XF, but the reverse was potentially pretty ugly for condition. I decided to soak the coin in acetone overnight and then soak it in Verdi-Care. The results are displayed in the second set of pictures. I have done this procedure on several coins in the past with limited success. This was my best results to date. Report this Post to the Staff

Jimbo48 Valued Member United States 268 Posts	Posted Yesterday 11:03 pm I agree, usually after treating a coin, the surface is porous and ugly. This was really nice to see the reverse to match up in quality to the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
