<p>[QUOTE="Noah Worke, post: 8343691, member: 115032"]Back with another update: After the soak, I had rolled the Q-Tips over it just as suggested, and some more of the stuff came off of it but not all of it. I believe Verdi-Care is the cleaning agent I would need to get rid of the stubborn parts, as well as the black that's all around the rim and a little bit on the obverse. I know that the surface will look slightly "unnatural" after all the corrosion is removed, but I think a way to remedy to that has been found by another member of this forum. I don't remember who, but I remember reading a thread where a member here kept a cleaned IHC in his sock and it returned to a brown color, rather than a bright unnatural color. If mine ends up garishly bright after the cleaning, I may do the same. Verdi-Care is 15$ on Wizard Coin Supply, so I am willing to fork over the cash if need be, but I'd be more ready to buy an alternative on Amazon if one exists, since I have a gift card and [USER=24314]@Insider[/USER] recommended not spending any more than five bucks. If someone has had good luck with something from Amazon, I would be grateful for a recommendation. However, if I can only get results using Verdi-Care, that's what I'll do. Here is the coin after I am completely done with the acetone:[ATTACH=full]1479865[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1479866[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
