Ammonia, with no colouring in 1:1 dilution with water will many times help out on copper nickel and have used this with quite valuable proofs...
The 1972 ten dollar and twenty dollar gold are RCM products. I am a certified FM nut so wouldn't bother to tell you....Even PCGS and NGC get it...
Expat - I believe the 1972 Jamaica bit is Royal Canadian Mint... These are a couple of very rare 1978FM Unc. (U) coins, look at the intensity of...
