<p>[QUOTE="TheFinn, post: 2983252, member: 90102"]I use methylene chloride soaked into a Q-tip, then roll it over the surface. They used to make something called MS70 that had some similar solvents. Since the coin is circulated, you could probably get pretty good results with acetone. Just make sure to soak it for a few minutes, then roll the Q-tip over it - never rub - that will put hairlines on it. Then I would rinse it with some 91% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and let it dry. Then put it in a flip.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is a nice coin worth $500+ and eagerly sought by collectors.
