There is a sub group of collectors that try to fill an album with all AG-G coins in the series.
If acetone didn't work- leave it alone. It will cost you more to have it conserved than the increase in value it will get.

I recently liquidated a coin collection for the spouse of a member of the coin club I belong to. I think that from that experience, I will tend to...
