CentSation Pillar of the Community United States 713 Posts	Posted 06/13/2022 7:51 pm Beat up but, Excellent find. Nice pics, too. As long as you don't dip it in copper cleaner I should think cleaning it should be no problem. Poke away crud with a toothpick, lightly brush with a toothbrush and dish soap, etc. Acetone does little to nothing... Zincolns need extra attention to keep from rotting away over time.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8816 Posts	Posted 06/13/2022 7:57 pm Very cool find, congrats! I know many use rose thorns but as CentSation stated, a toothpick works well. Just time and patients. I usually soak mine though, to soften them up a little. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19249 Posts	Posted 06/13/2022 9:02 pm A cool example. Acetone does many things well, but it can't/won't do everything. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34447 Posts	Posted 06/14/2022 12:26 am Nice clear doubling @hwb—super find. I think it looks pretty good "as-is".

Dearborn Moderator United States 98402 Posts	Posted 06/14/2022 07:47 am I agree with Merclover - It looks fine as it is, Leave it alone and save it somewhere, somewhere it won't get more grime and gunk on it.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/14/2022 1:06 pm What you will remove if the top layer of the plating. If there are any split plating areas on your coin, any acid will break the coin down instantly. Best to keep it safe as it. Why ruin the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
