<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeepfreak81, post: 8170211, member: 93888&quot;]Hey all,</p><p><br /></p><p>So I&#039;m looking to educate myself further on the types of issues we may encounter with coins.&nbsp; The coin below is one I scored from the reject tray of a coinstar machine and it&#039;s not worth much at all.&nbsp; This makes it a prime candidate for experimenting with crud removal if possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I&#039;m wondering is what am I looking at here?&nbsp; The green stuff is what I&#039;m referencing, is this PVC residue?&nbsp; It currently sits in a mylar 2x2 but who knows where it came from.</p><p><br /></p><p>Or is this some other type of crud?&nbsp; What would be the preferred method or course of action for this coin, and what if it were worth a reasonable amount, would the course of action be the same?</p><p><br /></p><p>I know OF using distilled water, xylene, or acetone but don&#039;t really know the instances to use it or not and how long to soak, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mostly just trying to educate myself and perhaps experiment a bit.&nbsp; I&#039;ve casually collected coins for a long time but never really learned much about stuff like this.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1427118[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1427119[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
