I believe that the acetone dip is what turned the areas of corrosion white. I have done it many times on bronze and copper, especially Lincoln cents. So I did not give this a soak in acetone.

This took quite a bit of time. Coating the medal with a q tip, letting it sit and then rolling a wet q tip on top to remove the encrusted areas, As you can see there is still some areas on the reverse that need to be removed.</p><p>Here is a couple different camera angles and settings of the coin.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1389375[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1389384[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1389385[/ATTACH]</p><p>I am still unsure how this coin is supposed to rotate.</p><p>Medal alignment with I think some slightly rotated dies.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1389386[/ATTACH]</p><p>Coin Alignment</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1389390[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>When I finish the last treatment on the reverse it will go into the coin cabinet to get a skin on it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
