<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NorthKorea, post: 1272147, member: 29643&quot;]Hey everyone.</p><p><br /></p><p>I haven&#039;t been on in a while, but I wanted to share these pictures with you. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I tried to use acetone to remove the white crap from these Blue Ikes that I picked up (once I was positive that even out of the holder, you could still tell they&#039;re silver). When the film didn&#039;t come off, I got impatient and threw it into some of the blue coin acid thing. (The stuff that looks like jewelry cleaner, but is supposedly for coins.) Then, not thinking, I dropped the coins back into the acetone bath to rinse them off.</p><p><br /></p><p>They started to have these ugly yellow splotches on them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, this was a couple months ago. I put the coins into mylar sleeves and back into the envelopes.</p><p><br /></p><p>The result was strange, to say the least. The white coin with gold splotching turned into a gold coin with blue/purple splotching.</p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t think to take pictures of the &quot;before&quot; coin, as the plan was to sell them as &quot;40% junk&quot; the moment I placed it into the acetone bath.</p><p><br /></p><p>The colours remind me of the type that you see with British proof nickel/copper coins. They look &quot;easter egg&quot; like. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Clearly artificial. Now, the funny thing is, the coins still have their original luster. The only reason you know they&#039;re the &quot;silver&quot; Ike coins when looking at them is the edges remained white.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.use.com/3fcaf3105d3ce39aa8c1?p=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.use.com/3fcaf3105d3ce39aa8c1?p=1" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://media.use.com/images/s_4/3fcaf3105d3ce39aa8c1_1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a><a href="http://www.use.com/3fcaf3105d3ce39aa8c1?p=2" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.use.com/3fcaf3105d3ce39aa8c1?p=2" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://media.use.com/images/s_4/3fcaf3105d3ce39aa8c1_2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a><a href="http://www.use.com/3fcaf3105d3ce39aa8c1?p=3" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.use.com/3fcaf3105d3ce39aa8c1?p=3" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://media.use.com/images/s_4/3fcaf3105d3ce39aa8c1_3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a><a href="http://www.use.com/3fcaf3105d3ce39aa8c1?p=4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.use.com/3fcaf3105d3ce39aa8c1?p=4" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://media.use.com/images/s_4/3fcaf3105d3ce39aa8c1_4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a><a href="http://www.use.com/3fcaf3105d3ce39aa8c1?p=5" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.use.com/3fcaf3105d3ce39aa8c1?p=5" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://media.use.com/images/s_4/3fcaf3105d3ce39aa8c1_5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a><a href="http://www.use.com/3fcaf3105d3ce39aa8c1?p=6" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.use.com/3fcaf3105d3ce39aa8c1?p=6" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://media.use.com/images/s_4/3fcaf3105d3ce39aa8c1_6.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a><a href="http://www.use.com/3fcaf3105d3ce39aa8c1?p=7" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.use.com/3fcaf3105d3ce39aa8c1?p=7" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://media.use.com/images/s_4/3fcaf3105d3ce39aa8c1_7.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
