[QUOTE="The Half Dime, post: 26721458, member: 153164"]I think this Buffalo nickel is in AU details, but it had a lot of PVC damage on it so I decided to see what acetone could do to it. It came out of a 3 for $1 bin so there's almost no risk involved. Here's the coin before (pictures are kinda crap): [ATTACH=full]1706138[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1706139[/ATTACH] And here's the coin after: [ATTACH=full]1706140[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1706141[/ATTACH] The light hits it a weird way in the after photos, but thankfully I don't see signs of cleaning or anything else that would detract from its value. I think the final result is about an AU-55, which bids at $11 compared to $2 in XF, which is what I'd sell the AU details coin for. I'm always up for turning a $2 coin into an $11 coin. ;) Now I just gotta sell it.[/QUOTE]
