I just file that away and keep it in mind for when I finally get my 1877 MS65 in RD and I think I see a tiny spot of PVC on the tip of her nose under 60X-magnification and I can't sleep until it's a goner, lol.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'd just use a glass jar, lid, and maybe a 15-minute soak on this one. The thing is, the acetone may bring out things you may not like, it depends on what's on there. You may try distilled water, first, or, if you want, even rubbing alcohol, which are at least safe, in that they won't react with the coin, and will at least soften-up what's there, and just sort of lightly hanging on. The purpose, here, is to get a good look at those digits for those "tiny remnants," and there's debris obscuring that. You identified something beneath the 1, and you just want to give the rest a good going over for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
