<p>[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2317752, member: 24314"]TJ, Hate to be picky but the coins are not finished. They still have green crud on them.

People here are going to scream about the product and tell you to "overpay" for another product that is milder being touted on CT. I have a bottle of the "so-called" miracle product and will try it when I get a coin such as yours in. In the meantime CARE WORKS great and it is cheap. I'll just say it is used by people who know the "ropes." I did not want to get into this But...</p><p> </p><p>1. Get a bottle</p><p>2. Put your coin flat and drip some Care to cover the entire coin. Let it sit for awhile. Then take a Q-tip soaked in care and GENTLY ROLL it over the surface. All the remaining green should come off. </p><p>3. Remove the Care residue - acetone works but can turn copper blue in combination w/some chemicals. The Q-tip will be green and an application of acetone should remove the residue. </p><p>4. You will need to "resurface" the coin to give it life as the acetone dulls the surface. Any "copper" collector on CT can fill in all the "tricks" they use to make 'em pretty.
