Edmike New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 01/21/2013 12:43 pm I recently bought this double sealed 62 Proof set. Of course the coins inside had broken through mint packaging. Cool thing is all silver coins are cameos, but the penny is green! Anyone ever heard of a green proof penny? Even the nickel has a few little green spots. Report this Post to the Staff

You're better off to just replace the coin. IMO, acetone will have no effect. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
Edmike New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 01/21/2013 5:59 pm Thanks all. Really did not care about the penny, just thought I'd get it out there. The half, quarter & dime are frosty, so for $30 bucks think I made a good deal Report this Post to the Staff
