[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 175189, member: 669"]Especially since it's a relatively low value coin, I think if it were mine I'd bring my outdoor barbeque up to ~300F, then place the lucite block on an aluminum pie plate for a few minutes and see what happened. ;) If the plastic seems to be melting off, I'd extract the coin with wooden chopsticks and put it on a piece of glass to cool off. With no idea what fumes melting lucite might give off, I would no more do this in an indoor oven than I would drink acetone! :eek: As far as the (probable) polishing goes, it couldn't have devalued the coin below it's melt value, so what the heck. :p[/QUOTE]
