    1999 S Quarter..I found it in a coin roll so I'm guessing that explains the scratches.
    How can I clean the green stuff starting to take the reverse and obverse over?
    I don't understand this either as it has been sitting in a 2x2 the whole time I have had It. I know your not suppose to clean coins, but is there something I can do?
    Maybe let it sit in bleach for a minute? Or two? Any suggestions and or advise would
    be greatly appreciated!

    Only if it's a rare and valuable coin. In this case, clean away! Not bleach though.

    No to the bleach idea. Let it sit for a while in a bath of pure acetone.
    In this case, cleaning the coin would make no difference in it's value.
    I wouldn't waste my time or acetone on it.

    I sort of like it the way that it is.

    V. Kurt Bellman Yes, I'm blunt! Get over your "feeeeelings".

    Some people do funny things to coins, and since that an "S" coin, ... (wait for it) ... there's "proof". (We're here all week, please remember to tip the waitstaff.) Wacka, wacka!
