<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 45813, member: 112&quot;]That&#039;s something from the old days. Many collectors used to coat their cents with lacquer in an effort to maintain the color and help protect the coins. It was said that you could safely remove the lacquer at a later date with lacquer thinner. Personally - I always felt it was a waaaaay bad idea.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can try removing the coating with acetone, but be prepared. In a period of time that can vary from days to a year or more the coin <u>may</u> turn more colors than the rainbow.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
