Steelers72 Pillar of the Community United States 1448 Posts	Posted 09/23/2013 8:36 pm Thanks panzaldi! I was thinking acetone as well but I'm just really curious what it is. If acetone could remove that stuff, it surely would be a nice looking coin! Report this Post to the Staff

If you successfully remove that stuff, the coin will still be spotted, just in the negative of what exists now. The dark areas will be lighter than the surrounding fields, and the coin will obviously have been cleaned. Sometimes, just because you "can" doesn't mean you "should." Report this Post to the Staff
