gsp193 Pillar of the Community United States 975 Posts	Posted 10/03/2021 4:20 pm This penny seems to have a great patina but it is covered with what looks like melted hard candy ...I tried warm water from sink but doesn't touch it. Was not sure if Acetone was the answer. Thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19221 Posts	Posted 10/03/2021 4:39 pm Acetone. If you haven't tossed the coin yet, try acetone. It will be an education piece, if nothing else. Try it. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/03/2021 7:48 pm I have rolls of OBW 1960-D cents. Not worth the effort. Looks like clear clue or clear fingernail polish. Spend it. Report this Post to the Staff

gsp193 Pillar of the Community United States 975 Posts	Posted 10/03/2021 9:04 pm I ended up microwaving water to just under boiling, and dipping it and letting it soak a few minutes then worked that stuff loose. I know its not valuable but I like the petina. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97793 Posts	Posted 10/03/2021 10:44 pm Sure is a nice looking coin you have. Great job on the 'restoration' of it.
