Sorry for the delay, I just put it in the acetone a few hours ago, and as of yet I can't really see too much of a difference (though I haven't taken it out of the bath). I'll give it a little longer and post the results...

Yikes! Ya'll are tough an a guy...

Unfortunately, there is not much difference and I am not sure what to do from here, maybe let it soak for a day or two and see what happens? A hundred years of crud is proving to be particularly stubborn.

You can poke at the crud with a toothpick. I've "accidentaly" soaked coins overnight with good results and no problems.

It is probably lacquer on the coin. (They used to do that to protect the mint surfaces years ago. But it created another issue. The original surface was altered)
