I started collecting as a kid in the early 70's and lived in the east. Anything with an S mm was like the Holy Grail. I used to wish I lived in...
Using small amounts acetone occasionally isn't going to hurt you. However, you do need to be aware of the safety issues and how to dispose of it,...
Great looking piece. I remember watching someone cutting a Mercury Dime when I was a kid. Couldn't believe the what the guy could do with a hand...
You've got a tough one. Great portrait on A. Without taking cost into account, there is no question, this is the right coin. But B is nice,...
The mint reported that the copper plating is 8 microns thick. My quick, “back of a napkin” math says that the copper coating should weigh around...
I agree with Larry 100%
I've been using Acetone to remove PVC residue from coins ever since they stopped making CFC113 in the 80's and never had a copper coin change...

As others have said, the coins aren't worth much but it looks like you have a good start of a collection. I also agree with the you tube...
@paddyman98. Look at the stuff this guy finds with his metal detector. A lot more interesting than the discolored clad coins you find in NYC ;)
I'm certain that the coin has 19 and 49 in the stars and that indicates it was minted in 1949. This is common information available in the Krause...
I would be very hesitant to put anything on a coin short of acetone or xylene, unless I knew exactly what chemicals were in it and how those...
