[QUOTE="Jim-P, post: 7680490, member: 118020"]Thirty years ago I bought some coins from Midas. Promo was get a free proof Kennedy half with purchase of a proof Franklin half. I bought three. A few months ago when I was trying to rescue silver coins from mylar flips, I put one of the Kennedy halves in acetone, surprised to find the coin was in a capsule within the flip, capsule dissolving in the acetone. Hesitated to proceed with the other two, but the second one was looking a little green, so its in acetone now. Third one doesn't look bad, although I can kinda see a green tint. What would you do with the third one, would you take it out of the capsule or would you leave it in the Hannes Tulving flip as a novelty?
