<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 589878, member: 1242&quot;]Boss,</p><p><br /></p><p>I am sorry that I didn&#039;t see the two Threads before and am just now chiming in! Telling you not to crack the coin out of the PCGS holder is a mute point, since you had already done so. If you were only trying to remove some dirt and debris stuck in and around the Lettering and possibly remove some of the Dellars Darkener, then I would have recommended the following: Soak the coin in Virgin Olive Oil for several days or more, remove and clean the dirt out that is in and around the Lettering with a very sharp and green Rose Thorn. A green Rose Thorn will not damage or scratch the surface of the coin unless you bear down significantly and with only gentle pressure on the Thorn while running it in and around the Lettering, should have removed most if not all of the dirt and debris. I usually cut three, four or five Rose Thorns before starting as the sharp points tend to wear out or bend fairly quickly. The Olive Oil would also more than likely smoothed out the look of the Dellars Darkener to a more pleasing color, if it had been used! Once the cleaning is finished, a light rinse in water and pat dry would have sufficed but if you want to get the Oily sheen off, then a mild mixture of water and dishwashing liquid before the rinse, should have done the trick.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
