Wornslick Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 03/11/2012 2:14 pm Picked up a 1929-S Walking Liberty for my collection yesterday. It has a color to it that I have not seen. I would say the coin has been laying in rusty water by its color. I tried a 10 minute soak in Acetone but it didn't change it. Anyone ever see this before.... Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
