Gigi2 Valued Member United States 319 Posts	Posted 05/16/2024 12:44 pm Found this corroded 19?8 Lincoln Cent and was about to put in discard pile when I saw all the straight lines, both vertical and horizontal that looked very much like part of a building through the crud. What is it? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19163 Posts	Posted 05/16/2024 2:43 pm Yes, I'm thinking some dried gunk--possibly an adhesive. Give acetone a shot. Report this Post to the Staff
Gigi2 Valued Member United States 319 Posts	Posted 05/16/2024 2:50 pm Have some 100% acetone, actually nail polish remover. Will give it a try. How long should I let it sit in the acetone. Report this Post to the Staff

You may need to soak overnight, rinse, repeat. Be sure to use fresh acetone each cycle.
