<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 460939, member: 66"]The coin appears to be lightly rough and porous. Acetone will not do anything to this coin. If there is crud on the coin olive oil will eventually soften it and allow its removal. Extended soaking may lighten the color some but probably will not help with the green color. (It may subdue the green for awhile but as the oil evaporates the green will return.) Probably the only way to get rid of the green would be some careful recoloring.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know that green can bother some people but I happen to like the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
