Neither had I until I ran out of opinions ( long soaks in acetone and xylene with little results) then said to myself "what the heck is there to lose." One of these days I'll break down and get a phone that I can take pixs with and post me pocket piece (now of over 2+ years) looks pretty good I may say myself.

Maine Member Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 02/20/2025 5:50 pm I like the golf ball marker idea. If you are the wagering type, place a bet with someone that you can make the putt. Winner gets the coin. Make sure the wager is over the Twenty Cents you paid though. Report this Post to the Staff

Do you alternate (flip) the coin over with each freeze operation? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Come on Dearborn........We're talking about LARGE Cents, I don't know how large your trays are but a large cent won't lay flat in mine. Even a modern cent doesn't won't lay flay in mine.....

Nocreativity2 New Member Canada 23 Posts	Posted 02/25/2025 9:50 pm A little update: I tried acetone, xyelene and the ice trick. I was able to get a tiny bit (read 0.1%) of the green stuff off using the latter each time, but nothing more. It was nevertheless a fun process! Report this Post to the Staff

That is probably the biggest value from your effort.
