<p>[QUOTE="cdb1950, post: 45936, member: 1735"]Sounds like your poor penny is trashed. Blue corrosion may have already eaten down into the copper surface of the coin and that can never be fixed. That's probably why it ended up in a roll. If it was something really rare, you might want to try to clean it and live with the damage, but just about any coin dealer will have a nice circulated one for you for less than a dime.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand, you don't have much to lose by cleaning it. If it turns out nice, keep it, if not, it is still worth a penny. A wooden toothpick might knock off all the chunks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
