<p>[QUOTE="Neal, post: 3322913, member: 43872"]A friend asked me to look at an accumulation of coins left to her by her late husband. There were a few pretty nice coins, but I hurt inside as I looked at them, because most had been placed in vinyl holders, probably in the 1960s or 1970s. One of them was this 1939-D quarter, which looks like it would have been a beauty when first placed there. I have soaked it for weeks in acetone and rinsed it in xylene, but there is still residue, and maybe some surface damage. It retains more luster than the image shows, but there is green residue, especially on the forehead-hair area. What do you think? Is there still any value to it? Is there anything else I can do for it?[ATTACH=full]880760[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]880761[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
