Thump1 Valued Member United States 369 Posts	Posted 12/14/2023 08:39 am Can I clean this coin somehow to bring the color back to where it should be? It shows very little aware it's just weird staining. I like to clean this up to keep it because it's nice shape personally Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16804 Posts	Posted 12/17/2023 7:56 pm There is nothing you can do to this coin to "make it look new again". The damage has already been done, and it is irreversible. Anything you might try to do to it will either do nothing, or make it look worse. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
