<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3141312, member: 19463&quot;]The main thing you learned is we have more different opinions than we have people posting.&nbsp; I have my opinions but prefer to stick to the point that doing something inappropriate can rarely be corrected while doing nothing leaves the coin available for a later owner to do what seems best later.&nbsp;&nbsp; Please don&#039;t use olive oil on it; please don&#039;t buzz it with power tools.&nbsp;&nbsp; A soft brass brush might help but is better used in hand than at 3000 RPM.&nbsp; Not all brass brushes are the same.&nbsp; Some are soft and gentle but some feel like steel painted yellow.&nbsp; You might like the results if you stick it in a pocket and check it every few days/weeks/months.&nbsp; Then again, you might not.&nbsp; The coin is a type you&nbsp; can find as is without alteration.&nbsp; The safe move is to search for a coin you like and leave this one to be destroyed by someone else.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
