<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PlanoSteve, post: 3390217, member: 91609&quot;]Well. I guess it depends on what <b><i><u>you</u></i></b> want it to look like, &amp; what <b><i><u>you</u></i></b> intend to do with it.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you intend to flip it, then you have to figure out what the market desires...so how do the collectors of these want to see them.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to keep it &amp; say frame it (looks to be approx. 7&quot; x 11&quot;) then how do you want it to look.&nbsp; Perhaps practice on cull cents to get the right effect. </p><p><br /></p><p>I never clean anything (I mean coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) so I can&#039;t advise you on that, but I will say do not use any abrasive, like 0000 steel wool, or toothpaste (yes, the reason tp has a whitening effect is that it contains ultra fine abrasives).&nbsp; The verdicare sounds about right &amp; since this is pre-strike, you shouldn&#039;t have to worry about the same things you would about actual coin surfaces.</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps look @ any which have already been slabbed for a clue, or ask a TPG?&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>In any event, that&#039;s a nice piece!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
