[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2723053, member: 1892"]The color looks a bit unnatural, for sure, although in your images I see a bit too much yellow tint.

Although a short soak in acetone is my default behavior for all new raw coins I acquire. Obviously, after so long in storage, anything capable of adversely affecting the coin would have already acted and that doesn't seem to be the case, but benign organic stuff can sometimes alter the appearance of a coin as well. Consider Larry's post above to be the right thing to do. Like usual, he speaks with wisdom. :)[/QUOTE]
