PamG Valued Member United States 278 Posts	Posted 02/10/2023 8:24 pm I was wondering if this could be? It seems to me that it is. Not the prettiest coin but seems right. First one for me if it is. Report this Post to the Staff

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 02/10/2023 10:51 pm Very nice find, good eye to spot it. Soak it in acetone then do not touch it with hands. Put in 2x2. Report this Post to the Staff
PamG Valued Member United States 278 Posts	Posted 02/10/2023 11:40 pm @oddguy It is soaking now. Going to use an air tite capsule. Hope they are safe. Package says PVC free. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/11/2023 04:14 am PamG, BIG congrats on your find. Acetone soak and an Air-Tight is the right choice. Where did you find it? John1 Edited by John1 02/11/2023 04:15 am Report this Post to the Staff
PamG Valued Member United States 278 Posts	Posted 02/11/2023 09:20 am Thanks John. Went to my bank to make a deposit and got 10 rolls of pennies and I found this, a 2006 DDO which I haven't figured out yet and a great 1960d rpm. Haven't figured that one out yet either. Western PA.

MrHaz New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 02/11/2023 5:53 pm Over 20 years of hunting and I have been lucky enough to find two of these. (Both D) The first one I found was actually a discovery piece! Congrats on a very difficult pull from CRH! Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5775 Posts	Posted 02/12/2023 10:54 am Well done on a great find. One thing I'll add to the acetone soak is to be sure to rinse the coin with water (not tap water as chlorine can be harmful) after soaking twice in acetone, especially for really nice varieties. And use fresh acetone for each soak. First soak removes surface grime/grease/oils. Second soak removes leftover contaminants that ended up in the soultion. Rinse in water removes even more. (I've had some nice BU varieties turn brown by not doing all three. There was mint grease on the coins that came off during the soak but remained in the acetone, coated the surface, and turned them brown.) Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
