<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 7829696, member: 103207"]I don't know the value of that token but, the more you mess with it the bigger the chance of damaging it. The only suggestion I can make is soak it in distilled water over night and use a blunt tooth pick and see if you can carefully remove the crud around the hair. If this token has some value to it then stop right now and leave it as is. There is a good chance that if you remove the crud around the hair you may end up with a light copper color in that area. If it's a cheap token worth less than 5 dollars then go for it and see if you can remove it. I've messed around with a lot of foreign coins to see what it would take to remove dirt. 50% of the time you couldn't tell I messed with it. However, some of the time I wrecked the coin but when playing with coins worth almost nothing you can learn what you can and can't do. It can be fun too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
