[QUOTE="Lon Chaney, post: 1413574, member: 29844"]A quick dip in pure acetone (not nail polish stuff) should loosen the dirt or gunk on a coin. With that cleaned Barber, you can tell it's been cleaned because there's still dirt or something in the smaller nooks and crannies. The G in IGWT in particular. It has an unnatural look, no luster, and is undesirable to many collectors. However, it melts out at $5.74 right now, and is a higher grade than that other one (albeit cleaned/details of course). For $6, I'd pay that close to melt for a Barber quarter.
