<p>[QUOTE="MIGuy, post: 6574391, member: 116145"]After reading and discussing this issue a fair bit here and getting feedback from a conservation person at ICG who was kind enough to respond to my email, I decided to soak this 1926-D with gunk or residue or something on it to see if it improves or changes it in anyway. I've never done anything to any of my coins previously. Note that the ICG conservator said that while it would not render the coin cleaned, it might change the "skin" and original surfaces and make them less attractive. The conservator did not recommend it. I am doing this anyway as an experiment. I will soak it all day and then overnight and may rinse it again briefly after that. If anyone has input or advice, please share it. There is a little residual paint on the outside of the glass but I carefully cleaned and dried both glass objects and then rinsed them inside with acetone prior to starting the soak. I will remove and rinse in acetone tomorrow.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
