<p>[QUOTE="mrweaseluv, post: 5007265, member: 40340"]beautiful coin and yeah appears to have been coated with something... good luck on the conservation... Myself... I would start with boiling it in distilled water... if that doesn't take it off consider someing mild like VC to soak it in... with acetone the worst case you end up with a beautiful orange coin, but that too can be fixed either by ageing in sulfered paper envelope (as my nova is right now) or if you don't wanna wait 6 months for it to "tone" you can use quicker methods but those usualy detectable if you decide to have it graded[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
