Picked up a nice PL 1921 from ebay. Definitely original, definitely Prooflike, with the extensive die polishing typical of Prooflike 1921's.   But wait. What's that spot by the U in UNUM?   NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSo, here will be a study in the effects of acetone on PVC damage. More to come, once the process is done. For the record, here's how I do it:  Coin is in a shot glass, submersed in acetone. Second glass inverted over top to prevent evaporation. Inches from an open window, in a....place where there is no potential source of ignition. This was a small but well-seated PVC infestation. I'm going to leave this soak for about 2 hours, change the acetone and give it a couple more. We should see the results this evening. |

OK, in the second bath now. The results of the first looked quite promising to the unmagnified eye.

There is no party like a SuperDave photo-documented experiment party.  |

Watching all this popcorn made me hungry, so I had to go out and get a hoagie. Soon as I'm done eating, I'll pop the coin out and shoot some images.
