[QUOTE="FL_RacingGal, post: 351251, member: 7391"][b]Acetone Improved 64 Kennedy :)[/b] I had to go to Home Depot to get a new faucet for my kitchen so I grabbed some Acetone there. I thought this would be an easy dip and go thing but I actually had to leave it in the acetone longer than I thought. I didn't want to overdo it, so I put in it, checked it in about 5 minutes, rinsed and still saw lots and lots of yuck.

This "beautiful" 64 is no longer an ugly duckling and can join the other 90% halves in the baggie in the safe :) I really have no idea how this got so full of yuck that felt and looked like glue but whoever rolled those halves, thought it was ugly enough to give away. Of course I saw beauty in this 90% half dollar the moment I saw it but I just needed to bring out its inner beauty to the outside...hehe Thanks so much for the help. I won't ever have an sad, ugly, yucky coin again :) :) *~*Joey*~*[/QUOTE]
