You could try, but acetone will only remove a few things. Do you have any idea what the substance might be ? You should also consider that you...
Yeah, I remember the thread - what I said still stands ;)
Ruben the 1878-S posted in this thread is completely different than yours. This coin actually has something ( a foriegn material ) on it. Your...
You gonna take any classes while you are there ?
You are not wrong - any and all ads seen on Coin Talk are placed there entirely at random by Google.

I think Ruben's point is that since they turn over all profits to the General Fund and don't keep any - they don't make any.
If you are going to use the acetone I'd suggest a different method. If you first wish to soak the coin overnight fine. But after that get a clean...
clad - what are you basing that on ? It is contrary to everything I have ever read.
Based on the pics I'm inclined to agree with bqcoins. Is there anyone else you know who could look at the coin person ? Because if it is PVC, yes...
