[QUOTE="Rcptuna, post: 1029042, member: 27803"][b]Thanks for all the feedback![/b] Thanks to all for the feedback. I have heard acetone mentioned quite frequently. Where do you purchase it and is there a particular brand to look for. I'm not sure any of you have ever seen a copper coin come out of the ground after a 200+ year rest in New England soil. Please see attached pic. ...this is what they usually look like. Now you can see why I am excited to have a speciman with such detail!! I curious if not soap and water to clean....how would you proceed? When I do pull a rare coin..I want to do the right thing. Hopefully you can see why I don't want to sell this little part of history after the fruits of my labors. Just looking to have a nice conversation piece and prevent the coin from further corrosion. For me it's knowing this coin was used and dropped by a local founding father, has much as the beauty of the Draped Bust.[/QUOTE]
