Is this coin salvageable? I know at the end of the day it will be cleaned and pitted a bit. but the details are still nice. If it can be cleaned would you use just acetone?
I see no harm in trying acetone, though I don't think it would have much affect. I don't think that one is going to benefit much from conservation and I suspect that any serious attempts would likely just make it look worse. Me, I'd leave it as-is. Sure, it's impaired, but it's not totally horrible. As you noted, it does have nice details.
