<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul M., post: 2131370, member: 73165&quot;]Water might work, if the stuff is just plain dirt.&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t go with hot water, just plain, room-temperature, distilled water.&nbsp; But, I&#039;d say acetone is a better bet. Search the forums and you&#039;ll find lots of threads on proper acetone technique-- it&#039;s easy to work with, and absolutely harmless to the surfaces of the coin if done correctly. I don&#039;t think either water or acetone will do anything for it, though.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yeah.&nbsp; Like I said, your new pics look less like AT and more like &quot;meh.&quot;&nbsp; Toning that dark on a silver coin impairs the eye appeal a bit.&nbsp; At least it&#039;s fairly evenly colored and not splotchy.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As to whether it will make it into a problem-free slab, at this point, I don&#039;t see anything that would keep it out of one, though that all depends on the luster, which you say is there.&nbsp; Since you have the coin in hand and I don&#039;t, I&#039;ll leave you to decide on your own.&nbsp; But, you know, there&#039;s one way to tell for sure if it will slab clean, and it only costs about $20 to send it in on economy tier if you get together with a dealer or a friend or two to come up with the 5 coin minimum for submission.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
