upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 06/22/2011 12:14 pm An acetone bath would not hurt, also may not accomplish anything. She's a dirty EF45 Report this Post to the Staff

Ca Dreamin Valued Member United States 149 Posts	Posted 06/22/2011 12:53 pm you could argue a case for an au grade-I just think the coloration takes a little away from that. A net xf-45 grade is probably fair-it cetainly doesn't appear to be ms. Report this Post to the Staff
Namachieli Pillar of the Community United States 2120 Posts	Posted 06/22/2011 1:45 pm Looks to be a close XF/AU. Really hard to tell with the color. Though I would lean more towards XF cause I'm pretty conservative about grading. Report this Post to the Staff
w1a9c8k5 Pillar of the Community United States 1348 Posts	Posted 06/22/2011 2:01 pm I'll give her a bath tonight. How long should I let her soak? Report this Post to the Staff
upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 06/22/2011 2:58 pm Honestly I have little experience with soaking coins in acetone. One buffalo that had gunk on it that cleaned up quickly and turned out quite nice and One Peace dollar that I soaked for a short time and nothing happened so I left it overnight and nothing happened; well it was a little better but the finger print was unaffected, which was my target blemish. So you let us know how it goes with this type of "damage." Report this Post to the Staff
