CobaltCoin63 Valued Member United States 89 Posts	Posted 05/13/2024 5:27 pm I found this penny while coin roll searching but can't figure out what the object is embedded on the obverse, under "Liberty". Would this be considered a "Retained Strike Through"? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

CobaltCoin63 Valued Member United States 89 Posts	Posted 05/13/2024 5:34 pm It doesn't come off with MS 70 coin brightener. I don't have any acetone at the moment. Why use that? Report this Post to the Staff

CobaltCoin63 Valued Member United States 89 Posts	Posted 05/14/2024 08:28 am MS 70 is sold at my local coin shop and is safe to use with Q-tips as long as you don't rub too hard. Ingredients: Butoxyethenol and Potassium Hydroxide, liquid. I use it to pretty up a "dirty" coin knowing that I cannot remove black spots invading the patina. Report this Post to the Staff
