Coin looks mint state but the photos show little luster. Might just be the photography but a cleaned coin can look like this. It's a common coin as you probably know, normally valued for it's 40% silver content rather than any numismatic premium. You have to reach a certified grade of MS-66 and above in order for this date to be worth serious money. |

@Jaobler I just did an acetone rinse to get the horrible fingerprints off it. From everything I've read, and people I've talked to, that is apparently perfectly safe. Could I have ruined some coins by doing this?

Pure acetone should be safe for gold and silver coins; make sure it is pure, not nail polish remover or some other blended solvent. Very unlikely that you harmed this coin by using acetone. I'm not so sure that acetone is harmless to copper. I've seen color changes on Indian Head cents that I've treated with acetone and have decided not to use it on copper in the future for that reason. |

Thank you @Jaobler! I also think I discoloured a copper coin with the acetone myself. There are mixed reviews about using acetone on copper. And I made sure it was PURE acetone from the hardware store. At first, a neighbour lent me her 100% PURE acetone for nail removal but there was another ingredient in it.
