Hey look, they're trying to re-sell the 1909 I restored in this thread.

Another "tool" that works wonderfully at removing crud from any coin is a porcupine quill. They are basically modified hairs and will not scratch at all. I use them often on high end coins with great success. You can find them on The Bay from time to time. Get the American variety and not the African. I'm sure there must be Chinese knock-offs too so beware.

And now you know the rest of the story..

This is great

The guy you sold it to and bought it back from must really be wondering what is going on or kicking himself

Try a little more acetone and maybe it will improve a little more and you can repeat the whole process again

Keep that up and it'll turn into a Proof that sells for a record amount and you can retire on it.
