[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 2554013, member: 77413"]Here's another attempt to revive a coin that's in trouble. I'm looking for those pesky key dates that need a little care but look undergraded. So far I guess I'm happy with this approach. This 1921-S got the Acetone / Xylene / VerdiCare treatment. I had to break it out of a PCGS AU53 slab to save it. The VerdiCare is still pretty fresh, so I expect the appearance to improve some more once it cures.

Their example has the same weakness in the wheat ears that is shown here.
