I dont want to ruin it I've never used acetone, but from what I understand, if you soak the coin (not scrub) and rinse with distilled water afterwards, the luster and original finish of the coin will be OK. And IMO, it will help this coin quite a bit. NICE find! Report this Post to the Staff

SDcoinguy Pillar of the Community United States 2424 Posts	Posted 03/21/2011 9:48 pm ok I dropped it in acetone for like 2 seconds and the glue came right off. then rinsed it in water. also got a better pic of the bands, which I want to believe are FULL SPLIT! in hand I can see a line on the middle band. how distinct does that middle band have to be?

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 03/21/2011 9:55 pm SD, I would not have used tap water...too late :-O You can re-dip in acetone, then rinse with distilled water. The minerals found in tap water can spot the coin eventually. By the way, stunning find! I think it would make FB and not FSB. swcoin.ecrater.com Edited by vermontensium 03/21/2011 9:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff
