Searching through my silver stash, I came across this 63D quarter with the dreaded black crud. Since I'm filling holes in a Washington album, I thought an acetone bath might help remove the crud. It appears to be about a VF 30 coin so I'm not sure it would be of great harm. Thoughts?   |

Won't hurt, and depending on what the crud actually is, it may help quite a bit.

After an overnight soak (and a little toothpick work), here are the results. Much of the crud is gone.   |

Much better 88isgreat!  ! Quote:Yes ,pick at it with a tooth pic not an Ice pic. I've actually used an old "soft" toothbrush (gently) to get those tight ares around the devices. Disclaimer: NOT RECOMMENDED FOR THE NOVICE COLLECTOR! |

Thanks all for the positive feedback. I'm happy with how the coin looks now. For the time being it will be a hole filler in my Washington album. There could be an upgrade at some point in the future.
