CJ Cents Valued Member United States 140 Posts	Posted 02/27/2013 1:55 pm Not an error, mistake by me. Thank you Cladhunter The white on the coin. Anyone know what this is and any acceptable way to remove it? Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/27/2013 2:31 pm I do not recommend cleaning coins.That said,your coin is not of great monetary value so I would use an old well worn toothbrush and very mild soap and apply very little pressure.If "you" choose to clean it please post after pics for comparison.

jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 02/27/2013 2:50 pm Still better than my 1998 WAM, which is non-existent. Nice find! I would love to see what VERDI-CARE™ can do for it.

CJ Cents Valued Member United States 140 Posts	Posted 02/27/2013 2:54 pm I know that cleaning is a touchy subject with collectors and that why I asked for acceptable ways. No clue what the white is anyone? Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 02/27/2013 3:05 pm BadThad always recommends following the polarity ladder: water, acetone, xylene. One at a time, in that order. Once the crud is gone, stop. However, I have doubts about this particular crud, which is why I mentioned VERDI-CARE™.

jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 02/27/2013 5:43 pm Good question. One that Bad Thad would be my go to guy for the answer. Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
