[QUOTE="hotwheelsearl, post: 7664121, member: 75143"]For Coin #9, please toss it into [I]hardware store[/I] acetone. (NOT nail polish remover). Acetone will NOT harm the metal in any way, and will easily dissolve away any organic materials, including PVC and other gunk from old-school plastic holders. Please leave the coin in a shotglass of acetone overnight (cover it up with a metal or porcelain lid). This will remove the gunk. This coin could be pretty nice, it's just hard to tell what it is with that blue stuff. That acetone will be really useful for any coins in that collection if they: 1. Feel sticky at all 2. Have strange colors 3. Have visible adhesive or gunk Please post the coin when youre done with the acetone soak![/QUOTE]
