Note of caution with toothpick, bamboo or quill: Frequently wipe off the tip. Your pick may be soft enough to be safe, but if you dislodge a grain of sand or hard substance, the tool can push it around and cause scratches that the tool might not.

Here's the Barber again after a 24 hour acetone bath.

The green is gone from the chin. There are a few small spots remaining in the OF of the legend.

I'll give it another soak to see if I can remove those as well.

I have been hesitant to use acetone, but after hearing so many great things about it, I think I will, if I find any pieces in my collection that need it. I have a beautiful MS 1861 Quarter Eagle that is nearly flawless except for some faint black marks on the reverse, but I don't know if acetone will do anything for it.
