<p>[QUOTE="harley bissell, post: 2928333, member: 88212"]Until roughly the mid 1980s a popular cleaning method for dug non-premium clad coins and pennies was salt and vinegar. It knocked off most of the crud and allowed the coins to be spent. If folks did not keep the clad separate from the pennies the end result looked like this. Another "cleaning" method was to carry your clad in your pocket for a few months. That technique resulted in a cameo appearance with the field solid dark and the raised portions looking like a normal circulated coin. Easy to spot when found in circulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
