<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TexAg, post: 3032570, member: 86167&quot;]I found a similarly nasty 1942-D about like yours that I could barely read the date. It looked like a metal detector found coin (dug from the ground). Since I have a number of these, I decided to try to clean it as an experiment since it wasn&#039;t worth much as is. First I tried dipping it but it did not help very much as it was environmentally damaged. Then I thought &quot;what the heck&quot; and tried out my new cleaning &quot;pencils&quot;. First time I used them and, just so you know, they are <i><b>very</b></i> abrasive, even the one marked &quot;Fine&quot;. I forgot to take a picture of the obverse before I started with the pencils, but I did of the reverse and it was equally bad. I do <i><b>not</b></i> recommend this for coins you want to keep for your collection but it was a fun exercise nonetheless (and fairly laborious). Probably could have gotten it even &quot;cleaner&quot; but I got tired. I may try this on my detected coins that are so far gone I can&#039;t read the date, lol.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]755790[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]755791[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]755792[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
