MSI2 Valued Member United States 223 Posts	Posted 10/30/2018 07:50 am On second look. The cracks look darker than the rest of the coin. Possible ink or other debris. May want to treat with acetone to see if the cracks disappear, Report this Post to the Staff

How long could/should a penny be soaked in acetone? After reviewing various posts etc. I guess die cracks, with some exceptions, do NOT add value to a coin? Still nice to collect.
