Give us a picture showing an example of what you're talking about. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 08/05/2011 4:25 pm Quote: Belt sander will do it, dremel tool, wire brush etc. However, it should be stipulated that the Belt Sander belt be only a #140 grit or it will also take off some of the coins metal. And Dremel Tools and wire brushes also must be either Brass, Bronze or Coppper. Report this Post to the Staff

Namachieli Pillar of the Community United States 2120 Posts	Posted 08/05/2011 8:44 pm Does this coin have special meaning to you? If not its very common, you could pick up a BU example for a couple dollars. But if you just want to practice cleaning a coin with out damaging it do as Bad Thad would say and climb the ladder Water soak water and a safe soap Iso-propyl 99.9% rubbing alcohol Acetone xylene? Something else... Usually if Acetone or Veridcare doesn't do it, I give up. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19931 Posts	Posted 08/05/2011 9:22 pm Honestly, it's not worth the time or effort. You can buy a full MS red example for a couple bucks. If you must though, VERDI-CARE should do the job. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
