RollSeeker Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 09/27/2011 5:53 pm That thing on the coin could be a variety of things, but a bit of acetone might clean it up (not 100% sure about using it for something like this though since vinegar may be better for cleaning it, but not for a nice end result). As for grade, I'll be nice and give it G-6/VG-8. Report this Post to the Staff

RollHunter Pillar of the Community United States 687 Posts	Posted 09/28/2011 10:40 pm I'd go with VF details - looks corroded. Absolutely do NOT "clean" it with vinegar. Vinegar contains an acid - it does not clean, it damages. Report this Post to the Staff
