<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael K, post: 4901264, member: 78298&quot;]First thing I would check with magnification, is the area under the jacket at 7 o&#039;clock to see if there is any evidence of a VDB on the obverse, or VDB removal. If there is,</p><p>you can spend this coin.</p><p>You can soak the coin in distilled water, it probably won&#039;t remove anything, but it</p><p>won&#039;t harm the coin.</p><p>Anyone who said to use vinegar or lemon juice has no idea what they are talking about. These acids will damage the coin, change the color, and make it almost worthless.</p><p>I agree with Larry, I never heard that acetone will turn a copper coin pink.</p><p>Through personal experiments, it seems to work better on silver than copper,</p><p>but it won&#039;t damage the coin.</p><p>If the coin is genuine, it is best to leave it alone as any attempts to &quot;fix it&quot; will only ruin it. Is it worth professional conservation? IDK because it is still going to be a low grade coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
