[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2992867, member: 24314"]First the Bad :troll::vomit: news: Don't even bother spending money on this piece. What you have is a corroded "cull." Now the good news: :D Your coin is virtually worthless. Therefore it is perfect for you to play with and learn something from it. Believe it or not, it can be changed into a corroded brown coin in the right hands. [B]Unfortunately, those guys don't want you and I to know their tricks. ;)[/B] Here is my suggestion. Work on ONE SIDE at a time with different chemicals suggested by other members. That way, it's like having two coins to experiment on. In fact, if you wish to try Verdi-Care, put a large drop on ONE HALF of ONE SIDE. Then, you'll have "four" surfaces to play with. NO Scrubbing with anything hard until you learn all you can and take a wire brush to it. :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious: only kidding.
