It's hard for me to tell on any of them because of the dirt inside the "D".

Wasn't the D/S north for the most part?

 

How do I go about removing the dirt inside the "D"?

 

Try soaking it in pure acetone. If that doesn't do it, you might try (gently) picking it out with a rose thorn.

Where can I get acetone?

 

Any hardware store. Home Depot and Lowes also. Even Wal-mart

 

Thanks Will get some - clean and repost pics

 

If you have never used it before, use with great caution in a well ventilated area. It's also good for getting crud off copper coins. After a soak in the acetone, follow by a rinse of distilled water. Or just boil your own water so it's contaminent free.

 

... well away from the acetone, especially if using a gas stove.

 

Thanks everyone. Will use with caution and will let you know the results.

 

Absolutely what Books said. Don't boil the water with the acetone anywhere near it.

 

Is there any length of time (min/max) these coins should be in the acetone?
