Maybe you can soak off a leg or two on this '37-D ?

Lol, no no baby food. I bought a jar of baby food and emptied it out so I could have a glass container for my acetone to keep it from evaporating. I'm seeing if I can strip the red off, paint or whatever it is.

Therefore, what's on it wasn't organic.

An interesting new type of coin maybe. If you can figure out what you did and how you did it, start a new buisness selling Red Indian Head coins.

...no, that would be buying red indian heads lol. I bought a couple of them to see if I could get the paint off. Apparently it's not paint.

Why don't you let is soak for a longer period. It may take more that ~24 hours to burn through that stuff.

I just threw another one in the soup, a 1916-D even redder than the other. This one might be paint. If it's not paint then I'm not sure what's causing them to turn red like that.

Hey Raymo,
The next option might be xylene. I haven't used it, but be careful with it.

Can you immerse copper (lincoln cents) in Xylene without creating a science project?
