[QUOTE="lawdogct, post: 283831, member: 1476"]Now there will be a number of folks that say (or scream) "Ahhhh...you cleaned it!", but given the amount of green death on the coin to start, I'd say you've done well. Given that you have a close to dead coin with only a buck on the line, you may want to try a trick used with ancients and some dug coins. Give it a good soak (read "a few days") in olive oil.
