Thanks, you did a great job explaining things. I'll probably read it a dozen more times.
Does that look like a RPM to you?
Looking at the website, it does appear to be only on the 74s. Other 2 small dates don't have it.
I absolutely agree. But my 30 year old son wanted to experiment, so we did on a junk coin. I have a bunch of good coins soaking in distilled...

Well, I'm moving on, you've convinced me. I'm getting new coins today, I hope. I have many coins that look great. Nice red color, only the grime...

What is that mark off the 4?
Well, the distilled water experiment results are in. The 1974 small date cleaned up pretty well. The 1918s, not so much. I still dont want to give...

Ok folks, you all warned me to go slowly, so I started with the 24 hour distilled water soaking. It's been 5 hours and the 1974 small dates are...
Wow, there are some scary sounding precautions I will need to take. For now, I'm soaking the 1974 small date in distilled water. The 1918 is going...

Mmm. Interesting.
