sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 01/28/2021 05:34 am The black stuff is most probably a silver oxide/sulfide complex. If that is the case, you won't be able to remove it with any cleaning technique, without also damaging the coin. You may try acetone, but I am almost 100% certain that it will have zero effect. Therefore, just include this coin in your junk silver stash. That is what I have done with my black blotchy '64 Kennedys. Report this Post to the Staff

Or would that just be a waste of money on the dipping solution? Report this Post to the Staff
