gidjit Pillar of the Community Canada 1980 Posts	Posted 02/28/2014 4:55 pm i picked this coin up really cheap because of its condition, I have tried to clean it with a cotton swab and acetone but that did nothing I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions what to try, I'm not sure what is on the coin it kind of looks like rust and it seems to be above the surface of the coin. I know cleaning coins are a no no but it would benefit the coin in this circumstance. thanks again for your help Report this Post to the Staff

Although it looks like it is to late and whatever it is has already eaten through the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
