spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 11/12/2019 01:59 am @MrPink I know this is a late response, but that coin was part of an ignored collection. It contained coins in 2x2s using PVC plastic here and there and was stored in various hazardous environments including a rented storage building, attic and metal shed while being around other chemicals in Texas summer heat. So, I'm surprised that some of the coins turned out unscathed. An acetone bath was all that was needed for some to be right as rain. I think the specific alloy of this coin made it especially susceptible to corrosion from PVC residue.

If it is PVC residue the acetone will remove it and it should be done because if it is left on there eventually it will eat into the metal as on the OP coin. Report this Post to the Staff
