Since she is one of the wealthiest members of Congress, I would imagine it was a nice collection with many gold and silver coins.
[ATTACH] I found this in a roll of nickels. Anyone know it's worth? I think that that is 69 in the star near "UNA", is that correct? I have...

[ATTACH] I don't understand why I don't really get an adverse affect from alcohol. I have done this many times with wheat pennies. I saw nothing...
I did drop it into acetone but only for a minute then rinsed it quick. How long does it take for acetone to remove PVC damage? Maybe your right,...

I think I will toss a copper memorial into acetone to see what it does but as far as this large cent is concerned, I wouldn't risk it.
Why would you feel guilty? Non-collectors could care less about coins, if someone picked it out it would get tossed in a jar, snack machine, or...
I am thinking alcohol and distilled water since alcohol removes adhesive but doesn't harm copper like acetone. I am reading in to many places...
