<p>[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 2895252, member: 84179"]I don't believe the discoloration is a coating or surface layer that can be easily removed. The corrosion probably goes below the surface, almost like staining a piece of wood. If the wood is painted, you can usually remove most of it without too much damage to the surface, but if it's stained, you have to sand to get rid of the original wood that has soaked up the stain. I think you're in the same situation, where you'll need to remove the original metal and that has a high likelihood of leaving you with a coin that will look even worse[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
