52Raymo Pillar of the Community United States 8516 Posts	Posted 12/30/2013 5:22 pm I saw this coin on ebay one night and immediately thought I could fix it. It was a bin at 29 bucks, free ship. Now if I can bring this back it's a nice win. Even if I can't it's still not a bad price. I just got done soaking it and all the glue came off but underneath was a bit of corrosion that looks suspiciously like the glue was strategically placed on top of, lol. It's still not a bad coin but not the win I was hoping for. Ahhh well...before and after ... Oregon coin geek.....* GO BEAVS ! ! ! * Report this Post to the Staff

jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4691 Posts	Posted 07/27/2014 1:58 pm I'd keep soaking it in acetone. Take a q-tip and rub it on those black spots. Report this Post to the Staff
52Raymo Pillar of the Community United States 8516 Posts	Posted 07/27/2014 2:05 pm It would've caused too much damage. She will very shortly be someone else's. Oregon coin geek.....* GO BEAVS ! ! ! * Report this Post to the Staff
jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4691 Posts	Posted 07/27/2014 2:42 pm No. A q-tip rub while it is soaking in acetone should not have any adverse impact. Report this Post to the Staff
