<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 3121217, member: 10461&quot;]There is indeed a bit of color there, and nice luster, but the green spot is unfortunately some cause for concern.&nbsp; You could try acetone, but I&#039;m not sure if that would do any good.&nbsp; For an easy and harmless fix with readily available materials, you could work on the spot with a toothpick or bamboo skewer - some kind of pointed wooden tool that&#039;s made of a material hard enough to work at the crud without being hard enough to scratch the coin (as a metal tool would).&nbsp; I would use some mineral oil or Vaseline, too, then wipe the coin clean with a paper towel or soft cloth, but not hard enough to polish it and disturb the original color of the toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>It isn&#039;t worth very much money, of course, so it&#039;s a low-risk coin to play with.</p><p><br /></p><p>Funny, it just so happens I found an original Red BU 1974 cent in my pocket change this morning.&nbsp; Never thought I&#039;d see the day when a Memorial cent would be worth saving from change, but hey, these are 44 years old now, so finding them in UNC is fun.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
