<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 646100, member: 19065&quot;]I&#039;m returning to this thread with an update and some new images of my 1989-D 10¢ Roosevelt after spending a month in a 2 oz. glass jar of distilled water, from June 18th until July 24th. The water was changed once a week, so there were four rinses. It does not appear that much of the dark build up lifted off. I did NOT touch the coin with any cloth nor Q-tip nor brush. When the coin was removed from the water it was placed on a clean sheet of paper to air dry naturally. </p><p><br /></p><p>So now I&#039;m curious after this basic water rinse/cleaning if there are any next steps to consider. Is it worth the time to apply a coin cleaner solution of some sort (any recommends?) to remove the blackened areas to reveal just the missing clad layer or is it more desireable untouched and with this tone. I ask this about an &#039;error&#039; (?) coin as I don&#039;t know what general consensus prefers in regards to eye appeal when it comes to errors or their missing clad layers. I&#039;m indifferent especially since I don&#039;t see any potential value/premium being realised in this circulation found, 1980s era when low value metals we used and many coin production issues occured, not for this denomination and not for this type of error, if indeed it is an error. Therefore, I don&#039;t suspect that cleaning it in a solution would necessarily devalue the coin which has little to no value at this time. I&#039;m not really looking to sell this coin and will be keeping it in an AirTite as a novelty find.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts, suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
