But the origins of coin has little to do with the question. As far as I can tell this is not a key date or of any value above sentimentality. I know to never clean a coin So, how do I clean this coin? Lol. I think its White Out (liquid paper). Any patina loss is acceptable though as little as possible is of course preferred. I appreciate your help! Thanks! * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 01/25/2017 11:53 pm I'm curious to see if the areas underneath come out noticeably better than the exposed surfaces. Also, yes, pure acetone. Find it in the paint section if you don't already have some. Please do post your results!
