<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 8153888, member: 15199"]Its not a rare cent and the black is not in the fields but near edges. First, some members do not like any activity at all, so they may not agree with me. I would use acetone as a solvent ( it won't do anything to the metal IMO ), put some drops ( no fingernail removers, as they are not pure) and use a artists paint brush ( I prefer hog bristles ) and gently swish the acetone over the areas. Occasionally dump it and add clean acetone. ( Do not dump into plastic , such as a sink with PVC plumbing but instead pick it up with a piece of paper towel and let it evaporate. If this doesn't remove it, be Happy as it is a nice coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>PLEASE do not USE ACETONE if there is an open flame also, such heaters, stoves, cigars, etc. Acetone fumes are very flammable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
