I don't think acetone will help it much but you can try. I think you'll do more good soaking it in distilled water.
All of the Mint Sets from 1959 through 1972 had the plastic token in them. From '73 through '78 there was no token because there was an S cent....
I'm saying that there are business strike coins designated as Cameo.
Yes, they are. For many years even the TPGs considered chopmarks damage and they would not slab chopmarked coins. But as has happened with other...
A cameo 64 is not necessarily worth more than a non cameo 65. In this case, yes, it is. But it depends on the coin you are talking about. And I...

People call a whole lot of things milk spots, which is the point of what I have been saying in this thread and the other. If you sneeze, cough, or...
I expect those will turn out fairly well Siggi ;)
