I was surprised

yesterday my grandmas friend that i take shopping said i could have her jar of pennies because she knows i like coins. Well there were some dime in there too, and one of them happened to be a 1911-s Barber dime:bigeyes:, i was very surprised/happy to see that. And today i checked a coins machine and there was a 1956-d silver rosie. The dime has the black stuff on it, what is a good way to get it off?

You can try a little acetone but remember. You heard this from a guy who doesn't clean his coins....:smile

 

Dont clean it !!

 

Post pictures and you might get some better suggestions. And one is don't clean it.

 

It is worth only bullion value. Go ahead clean it.

 

okay here are the pics of my Barber. Do you think the stuff will come off?

 

I would do whatever you want. It is about a $2 coin. But a nice find
