1826 Half Cent

For this coin, soak in pure acetone (not fingernail polish, it has impurities)for half-hour to an hour or so. NO rubbing. Rubbing a coin will destroy its value by creating hairline scratches that penetrate the natural protective patina of the coin. Or worse, rubs the patina off entirely.

Very cool story about where the coin was found!
