I personally don't clean coins but most people on here swear by acetone give it a bath.lol

Ps. Don't forget to rinse properly.

 

I don't clean them either this one is special to me and can't get this off.

 

Acetone or isopropol(sp?) alcohol may work for you. Yours looks to have zinc rot though so it may be a lost cause. May I ask why it is special?

 

The year i was married i save all 1992's and this one was gave to me then

 

In remembrance of the child I lost 4 months pregnant and then miscarriage.

 

My belated condolences, Acetone will not react with the copper ( good), nor the zinc corrosion ( too bad) , but if it is any paint or resin ( other than epoxy), the acetone should work, Jim

 

Thank you and is ok I now have grandkids to love God has blessed me and a new one on the way

 

If acetone doesn't work, try xylene (xylol).

 

Where do I find that

 

HomeDepot. Nail polish remover is also made with xylene but it isn't pure enough I believe and will leave residue or something.

 

Uh...no, nail polish remover is either acetone or ethyl acetate. Xylene would more likely be paint remover.

 

Eh, I don't chemistry much

 

No big...

 

What about a potatoe...lol

 

Congratulations Joy. G

randkids are great. S​

poil them and send them home. We have 13 grandkids and 17 great grandkids. I keep an excel spreadsheet to remember when to spoil them, and, to remember their names.

 

Working on more grandkids lol but you definitely have me beat by a longshot

 

I'm trying to get them interested in coin collecting. But, they won't put the electronic stuff down long enough to see if they might like it.

 

I'm hoping mine will too

 

My granddaughter is only three and can work a cell phone like a pro even takes pictures.
