coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/19/2022 3:16 pm More of a melt coin. Too much damage to be a keeper. The color was probably from sulfur in the air of its environment. That plus tarnish of the silver in the nickel. Edited by coop 02/19/2022 7:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19130 Posts	Posted 02/19/2022 3:32 pm Using acetone is like following a trouble-shooting process on a stained/crud-encased coin. If it works, that narrows the issue (eliminates some possibilities). If it doesn't work, then that narrows the issue (suggesting other possibilities). Report this Post to the Staff
CCB420 Pillar of the Community United States 587 Posts	Posted 02/19/2022 5:45 pm Wow so acetone will remove epoxy, random other organic substances, but doesn't do anything to Elmer's glue we uses in kindergarten? Report this Post to the Staff

CCB420 Pillar of the Community United States 587 Posts	Posted 02/19/2022 6:56 pm I tell you! That was a nugget of FUN reading! But according to that, will only remove 2 part epoxies and superglue before they harden Report this Post to the Staff
