Sure does. I know you like this sort of thing, but it's an alley cat to me.

In order to prepare the coin for long term storage I went up the conservation ladder:
1. Rinse in purified water. Dry.
2. Rinse in acetone. Dry.
3. Treat with Verdi Care. Dry.

Result didn't differ much in the way the coin looks. Appears the coin was pretty clean to begin with.
