Gigi2 Valued Member United States 319 Posts	Posted 03/07/2025 6:44 pm I saw this coin in a roll of old-ish coins. It stood out due to its luster, but it had a glob of crud? on it and I couldn't help myself. I wiped it with some MS70 and a cotton swab. It brought out this rainbow hue...iridescent . The photos don't begin to show how much. Did I ruin a coin that someone might have wanted? Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73687 Posts	Posted 03/07/2025 7:27 pm Looks lightly circulated, so it doesn't matter, since it's only worth face value. I wouldn't recommend doing it to a coin of value. Only use 100% pure acetone or Verdi-Care. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 03/07/2025 7:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Gigi2 Valued Member United States 319 Posts	Posted 03/07/2025 9:14 pm Thanks. Since it's an S mint, I think I'll put it back. If I need to fill another penny album for someone, this might come in handy, Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 03/08/2025 09:44 am I tend to agree with everyone here, a nice looking cent that was not ruined. It is a coin worthy of an album placement.
