<p>[QUOTE="Coinchemistry 2012, post: 2419576, member: 28107"]My advice to you is to run... The coin looks terminal to me. It may very well be possible to remove some of the residue on the surface (I don't have much optimism but it wouldn't be the first time I have seen a coin clean up nicer than I anticipated), but you have no idea what is under it. You could make the coin look worse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Assuming that this coin was already yours and you wanted to play (i.e. you accept that the coin may look worse and are okay with that possibility), I would do multiple rinses in acetone which still might not remove the stain but it would be worth a shot. If that doesn't work I'd try a light dip, and then attempt to darken the surfaces to make them look closer to what would be expected for the issue. In any event, I don't think the coin would or should ever straight grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
