unholyroller Pillar of the Community United States 1903 Posts	Posted 12/29/2011 8:26 pm Well, I went through them and now I am hooked on nickels as well. I have been doing cents and halves up to this point. I found a five Euro cent in the box along with a nice variety of Jefferson's. I did find one 2009 D ...yeah for me as well as the two keepers below. Anyone have a suggestion on the 1939 to get the crud off it? It looks more like old goo or something that acetone won't touch. I know...don't clean coins...but I dont see what harm you could do to this one! Thanks in advance 1939S 1949S Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 12/29/2011 8:40 pm That '49 looks great! Too bad about the '39. I take you tried acetone....? At this point, you're not cleaning but conserving the coin, in my opinion. But I'm new to this so I hope you get some good advice from some experts. The only thing that I think might be safe is to soak it in distilled water -- for months, and see what happens. But again, I hope you hear from an expert. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/30/2011 07:27 am The '49-S looks like it may have a rotated die clash on the obverse? There is an indented line running from the "U" in TRUST to the "1" in the date. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
