Picked this up at an online auction about a year ago for $18. Knew it was over-advertised and cleaned but took a chance anyway. Well, wrote a little database app to catalog all my coins and as I go thru them in detail, this little bugger turns out to be an RPD-FS-304.

You might consider putting it in pure acetone to get rid of the green gunk. Would also make it easier to see that awesome rpd.

Overnight soak in Acetone and an hour of VC - much better. This RPD may have laid in wait for quite a while if I had not recently found a 3Cent metal detecting. Prompted me to look at these old auction buys.

Nice RPD! The coin is looking so much better, after the Acetone soak and Verdi-Care.
