Jlam79 Valued Member United States 264 Posts	Posted 02/03/2019 07:34 am Most news pennies are spotted. Some spots are brown and some are white. I read it happened during the cleaning of the planchette. I know the experts recommend only acetone or distilled water for cleaning. Can these spots be removed? When I find a penny without spots I keep it. I have a fair amount of spotless and scratch-free cents. I believe a large part of the Zinc cents will disentigrate eventually. Can the good ones be saved without the same fate? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

I believe if you can take the clean non spotted ones , give them a short acetone bath then put them in air-tights and with proper storage you can save these pristine coins for decades or beyond .

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 02/03/2019 1:04 pm The Mint puts them there so people will stop saving every Cent they make. Actually I seldom find a new Cent in change with or without spots. Report this Post to the Staff
