Cliffracer New Member Canada 24 Posts	Posted 06/27/2015 11:36 am $Add Cliffracer to your friends list$ I recently acquired this coin and when I received it, I noticed this red coloring. It doesn't look like its traces from the original finish. Any toughts? I can't find info on any website. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

I might try the acetone thing eventually, nothing to lose anymore I guess and it came as a bonus item in an auction. Report this Post to the Staff
