T-BOP, I agree; my advice was predicated on OP having already done acetone first.

A quick dip in E-Z-Est would be my choice.

Or you could sell the coin to someone who will appreciate it as is. The metal on the surface and device frosting that will be removed by the acid cannot be replaced. Dipping will irreversibly damage the coin and no matter how we feel about it now, generations to come might prefer that coin to have been left alone.

Well I rolled a Q Tip with MS-70 and pulled a little color off. I will take it to FUN and see if it will holder on a show grade. Under the chin area it has 4 or so coin hits in the field, but not damage just bag marks.
Rest in Peace
