<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike Thorne, post: 2474316, member: 56869&quot;]Quick story. I once owned an 1864-L Indian cent that was badly corroded. Without all the corrosion, the cent was in a high grade, maybe XF or so. I decided at some point to see if I could take off the corrosion, and it didn&#039;t take long to get it off. Unfortunately, the corrosion had completely engulfed the &quot;L&quot; on the ribbon, so when I got rid of the corrosion, I also got rid of the &quot;L.&quot; Of course, it still had a pointed bust, so it was obviously the variety with the designer&#039;s initial. Be glad your 1909-S didn&#039;t lose its mintmark in the cleaning![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
