QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 10/08/2020 8:17 pm Picked this up for $19.40. Not a bad coin, and a nice addition to my error collection. Unfortunately there is Verdi or something green on many parts of the coin but oh well. Doesn't look so green in hand. Here's a link to the original listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/233729576382 Edited by QuarterHoarder72 10/08/2020 8:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff

MOS0239 Pillar of the Community 1110 Posts	Posted 10/08/2020 8:51 pm Nice pick up! You going to get it slabbed? A little acetone and verdi-care might help it. Edited by MOS0239 10/08/2020 8:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 10/08/2020 8:54 pm Is acetone safe to use on zinc and copper? I have some and I can use it, but I thought it wasn't safe to use on zinc and copper. Edited by QuarterHoarder72 10/08/2020 8:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5785 Posts	Posted 10/08/2020 9:06 pm Very nice ragged clip. Acetone won't damage your coin but it wont do anything for the verdi. I've had limited success with hydrogen peroxide (and some people will warm it up for soaking coins). Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 10/08/2020 9:09 pm Ok, thanks Petespockets55. I might try the acetone anyways, just to see if I can remove anything from it. Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 10/08/2020 9:13 pm I was the underbidder on that one. Still think you got it for a great price as I wasn't really going high on it. Excellent example. Report this Post to the Staff

MOS0239 Pillar of the Community 1110 Posts	Posted 10/08/2020 9:36 pm Acetone will basically remove any grime or hand/finger oil. Try Verdi-care if you have it or can find it. Report this Post to the Staff
QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 10/08/2020 9:41 pm I don't have Verdicare unfortunately, and it doesn't seem to be sold anywhere. Wish I did, but I'll find it someday. Report this Post to the Staff
