JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 05/22/2014 03:03 am I've had this coin forever but it was so crusty you could not make out any design elements on either side. So I put it in a cup of distilled water about a month ago. I changed the water and brushed it every few days and FINALLY, I think it's identifiable. Just NOT by me! What do you guys think? Any and all information would be greatly appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff
