<p>[QUOTE="Boss, post: 637680, member: 15110"]I posted this coin before I believe, but after more days of soaking this crazy coin this is how it looks now. It's an album coin at this point for me so if it looks worse (which it does IMO) I am ok with that. I simply want this lacquer off. The below phots were when I first had acetoned and xylened it several days perhaps (I know they don't look that bad but it had heavy lacquer at the time). The last set of photos is after hundreds of hours (at least 1-2 weeks I would estimate) of soaking in xylene in the sun in a glass jar outdoors on my lawn. Anyone know how to remove this full proof because this experiment is RIDCULOUS and frustrating. I have at least 4-5 other nice coins I bought with deceptive photos that are lacquered, so if I can find a consitent way to remove it would be nice.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk118/dprice7/Lincolns/IMG_4109.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk118/dprice7/Lincolns/IMG_4110.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk118/dprice7/Lincolns/IMG_4112.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk118/dprice7/Lincolns/IMG_4115.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
