<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GSDykes, post: 2170962, member: 73321&quot;]Gilbert, when removed the undersurface contrasts poorly with the rest of the coin. In THIS CASE, I would let this one be. You can carefully pick off more pieces, do so under a binocular-type microscope, using a fine brass pick, or stainless steel like dentists use. But again this coin would appear very blotchy when done. </p><p>IF you had to clean this, pick off all debris, then a 10 second soak in Ezest cleaner. The soak will reduce the blotchy contrasts. In the end you will lose whatever luster you have, but the dime should seem more uniform. If you do so, let me know of the results. And keep growing in knowledge, your personal experiments are valuable, even if the results are a failure. You do know, that coin restoration &quot;experts&quot; earn a fairly good living at NGC!!</p><p>This is what this forum is about, sharing knowledge, and experimenting for the bold.&nbsp; </p><p>GSDykes[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
