<p>[QUOTE="buddy16cat, post: 1465082, member: 37356"]Which coin has corrosion or are you saying the blast white coin may have had corrosion? The coin to the right with the thing on it I took back and exchanged it for a nicer coin below. I know what you mean though about gunk and crud on coins. The dime I should early with the gunk on it had been soaking for days in distilled water, soaked several times in acetone, and washed with soap and water and the gunk was still there. It was much worse. Vinegar did the trick and now see I found a 1949P even though there is still gunk stuck to it. Since the seated coin doesn't appear to me to have the toning removed because why would it look like that? There might have been a bunch of crud stuck to it and someone wanted to remove it and for that I don't blame them. It really depends on what I did to circulated finds. Sometimes I just can't be bothered and just stick it in my folder or if it is wheat cent double it goes in the felt bag with the rest. If there is gunk stuck to it or from roll done by hand that was particularly disgusting (lots of hair or pieces of tissue) then the coin goes for a swim in alcohol then distilled water or acetone. That makes sense though, that seated quarter probably was cleaned to remove gunk not toning. I agree with you though about the blast-white Barber, it would look better with toning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
