Oh I like the 69! too bad for the gunk though, thanks for sharing.! Hi, VancouverIslandCoinKid: I was thinking that 100% acetone would clean it up but haven't decided to try yet. |

Hey when you use acetone is it soaked in a container of it? tell me more about how that works. I have heard of other people using acetone.

Acetone is completely safe. Pour some into a small glass dish or jar and soak them. Cover it if soaking for a while because it evaporates fast.

Thanks Roger. I often forget that common sense doesn't always prevail. :)

I think I will clean up the '69 and post again sometime soon. If it's organic, the acetone should lift it right off after a short soak and a soft toothbrush, if needed. I don't like cleaning, but occasionally it helps. I started using it once to help clean some old crusty Romans. Anything I do clean, I list as being cleaned if being sold or auctioned.
I only use 100% pure acetone, not nail polish remover.
Many say "Never Clean Coins" but I think that in this case, it would be much more appealing and it is not a valuable error.

good points steve, don't over brush, if you have finger nails use them! whatever you do don't brush hard.

Here is the '69 all cleaned up. At least as far as I wanted to go with it. Little bit better of a looker now! Looks like a very small third clip by the left leaf.   |
