<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbrklyn, post: 451577, member: 4381&quot;]Yeah - It suprised me.&nbsp; I was basically looking over a bunch of junk at the coin dealer, looking to buy really about anything, and I&#039;m looking at this &#039;17 Merc which is obviously, I believe circulated, it is certainly dirty, and I staring at the back with my 5x loop in the dark thinking, this thing might well be a split band.</p><p><br /></p><p>I flip it over and it also seems like a very rich strike for a merc.&nbsp; But this coin is filthy.&nbsp; Someone might have tried to clean gook off of it like that great gum of some kind near the &#039;I&#039; in dime.&nbsp; I&#039;m wondering if I can clean this.&nbsp; Not dip it but just clean it, maybe with a surgical tool to flip some of the junk off of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ruben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
