[QUOTE="Jeepfreak81, post: 24884282, member: 93888"]After a couple hours in an acetone soak, I removed the coin and rolled the surface with a q-tip and placed it back in some fresh acetone for a few more hours. Just before bed last night I removed it again and rolled it with a q-tip once more. It's a noticeable improvement, a quick look with a loupe and I can for sure still see the "stuff" especially in the smaller details like the dentils but a large percentage of it is gone or reduced as to not be noticeable. I'll take a couple of updated photos this evening and share. I think I'll also leave this one out of a flip for now and try xylene to see what, if anything, that does.
