Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4406 Posts	Posted 05/21/2018 5:07 pm Found a new (actually a few) local coin dealers fairly close to where I live. There's an antique shop with dozens of different vendors, at least 4 of them sell coins. One sells wheat pennies that are rolled by years and mintmarks. I bought five rolls for $20 (one was an entire roll of 1917 cents that cost $10, and no I didn't get that FS-101) one of which was a full roll of 1941 cents. Around the fifth coin in the roll was this one: Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/21/2018 5:12 pm Don't attempt to remove the spots. The one on the 'WE' area looks like a carbon spot. You don't want to lower the value of a collectable coin by attempting to alter the surface. So leave it as it is. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74777 Posts	Posted 05/21/2018 5:16 pm I agree with Coop. The only thing that's safe to do is Acetone and Verdi-Care. These two things won't harm the coin. Although, you can do whatever you want with it since it's yours. Errers and Varietys.

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 05/21/2018 5:31 pm That's a tough one. I really like those strong 1941 DDO's but hardly ever see one. Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4406 Posts	Posted 05/21/2018 5:34 pm I have both acetone and verdicare, haven't gotten around to trying it out on this one. I will try tonight and will keep you posted. Report this Post to the Staff

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4406 Posts	Posted 05/24/2018 9:31 pm I let it soak in acetone for a few days, didn't appear to work. There are still the same spots and they aren't any better. Will try Verdi-Care now. Report this Post to the Staff
