I dipped the coin in Acetone for about 5 hours and got some nice results. I had the EZest on standby.

Exceptional restoration. You've essentially added another collectable Kennedy to our ranks. Certainly a before and after worth saving.

Per seller, the coin was in the cardboard flip for about 20 years, so most likly it was PVC.
