How does the paint thinner and MS70 harm coins? The only bad effect I have seen from MS70 is sometimes the coin might develop a spot or two of...
I'm thinking you are right about the finger prints. The toning, though, I suspect was probably deliberately induced on the coin since there were...
I just tried using acetone on the coin and it did seem to help. After repeatedly dabbing the coin with a q-tip there might be a little bit left...

I'd have to say you are probably right. The die crack in the middle of the date looks very similar to the picture VAMWorld shows of a late-die...
Does anyone know what is the VAM of this coin? I tried looking up the coin going by the die break above the 2 in the date but the only other VAMs...
