[QUOTE="Islander80-83, post: 3972505, member: 104278"]Whatever it is, it looks like it's baked into the surface. But yes, start with acetone. Whatever you do, show us the before and after results. I had something similar on an old worthless coin several years ago, I thought I would experiment with it. Without using chemicals I decided to use my environmental erosion method. I boiled the coin in distilled water for 20 minutes, then stuck it in the freezer for 20 minutes. (expansion/contraction method) I repeated the process multiple times. The gunk (or whatever it was) actually started falling off. I should have taken pictures, before and after.......never do! :banghead: The surface was pitted but looked a lot better then it did. Not suggesting that you or anyone use my method. Again, it was pretty much a worthless coin to begin with. It was also a V Nickel.[/QUOTE]
