Caters New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 11/27/2015 10:33 pm I found a penny stuck to the basement flour in my utility room. I got it unstuck. It looks like it has laundry detergent and its oxidized on both sides. Obverse: Reverse: Is there a way I can get rid of the laundry detergent without doing any damage to the copper?

But since your cent is probably only worth $.01 soaking it in pure acetone should work, but unless you already have some, that will cost you more than $.01 Report this Post to the Staff
