Lenzos 57 Valued Member Canada 163 Posts	Posted 08/01/2025 11:25 am ITS a big crack its not a stain I disagree with you Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 08/01/2025 11:31 am Ok yes it is ok to disagree with us. You have the coin in hand while we are relying on your pics. Could it be a little dried glue? Whatever it is, it really doesn't look like die cracks though.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95075 Posts	Posted 08/01/2025 12:12 pm looking forwards to seeing this one after a nice acetone soak. Collecting since 1972.

Lenzos 57 Valued Member Canada 163 Posts	Posted 08/01/2025 4:37 pm Any suggestion for the brands of acetone ? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 08/01/2025 4:41 pm Any brand should be fine as long as it is 100% acetone--you don't want, for example, nail polish remover.
