<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 6586292, member: 103207"]This is a good coin to experiment with. You can learn a lot of what not to do as well as what to do. I played with a lot of cheap coins many years ago to get an idea on what it takes to remove dirt or junk off the surface. There are a few other chemicals you may want to try. I would try epoxy reducer or MEK. What every was put on the surface of the coin should come off it's just finding the right chemical to work with and allowing enough time for the chemical to react. Epoxy reducer and MEK are both aggressive chemicals when it comes to plastics so don't use either of these anywhere except on either a concrete surface or metal surface. <b>DO NOT</b> use these in your kitchen or bathroom or on any surface that you wouldn't want damaged. A minor spill on any synthetic or finished surface will have immediate damage done. I would recommend doing this in a cellar or garage on a piece of plywood. Use only a glass jar with a cover for soaking. <b>As with any of the different chemicals people have suggested DO NOT do this anywhere children or pets may go.</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
