scotty11 Pillar of the Community United States 1042 Posts	Posted 10/29/2011 5:21 pm My best guess is that someone attempted to alter/erase the mm on this one. The high points on the date and mm make me think that it also had a recent "rub" to check the date, before it was tossed into the bag. What do the rest of you think? Heck, it's a '22-D...and I only paid $.045 for it. I'm not sure it's worth wasting any acetone on though. Report this Post to the Staff

Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 10/29/2011 5:48 pm I bet that was a metal detector find before being tossed into the bag. That scratch on the obverse looks new to me. Might have been from whatever was used to dig it up. Report this Post to the Staff

Granite Valued Member United States 297 Posts	Posted 11/02/2011 09:10 am I would vote to lightly cleanit up. Nothing major, but a little cleaning will make it a nice hole filler for someone trying to put together a cheap(er) book. Report this Post to the Staff
Chancellor Sutler Pillar of the Community United States 1372 Posts	Posted 11/02/2011 10:54 am Soak it in lighter fluid. It's got some PVC contamination on it, and the lighter fluid will dissolve that. It wont' turn the coin a funny color either. That one's rather neat because it's a woodie to boot. Leave it soak in lighter fluid for a day and take it out, place it on a paper towel and blot the fluid off. Do not abrade the coin ... no rubbing allowed here. I think you'll be surprised at how it turns out. Chance Report this Post to the Staff
