I didn't take a 'before' shot of the Indians, but they were similarly gooped up on one side.

Acetone did not remove -all- the gunk but the large cent is vastly improved.
Mediocre results with the 2-cent.

Welcome to the forum CorkscrewCollection! Absolutely gorgeous coin, so much history behind it. The picture is good enough, that is amazing looking.

I got mail. I like larger coins and yet all my gold coins are tiny.

Man I want one of those Feuchtwanger Cents ! Look at all the whale tails at the base of most of the letters. I don't remember what causes it but I love it.
