dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 08/22/2014 09:10 am I agree it is VF I use Verdicare all the time along with a proper acetone treatment. It does not compromise the fine layer of silver sulfide on the surface which is where "cleaning" a coin does. Acetone and Verdi will do this coin just fine. A nice soak for several hours if not a day will remove the grime and leave you with a good looking VF example. Go for it. Report this Post to the Staff

jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 08/22/2014 3:15 pm wheatchaser, can you draw a picture of what an XF would look like? After looking at the pic again, I need to wash my hands. But thanks to the OP for posting. Have a good weekend. Report this Post to the Staff
CopperCastle Pillar of the Community United States 1132 Posts	Posted 08/24/2014 1:29 pm Thank you to everyone that provided input. Looks like I'm off to the hardware shop for some 100% acetone. Apparently (according to various archived posts) fingernail polish remover (which of coarse is abundant in the house) is a big no-no. I don't want soft coins, although lemon-fresh I wouldn't mind.
