[QUOTE="borgovan, post: 869780, member: 13016"]Your coin is the exception to the "Do not clean" rule. It does initially look like PVC damage, which can be removed with acetone (not nail polish remover -- get the pure stuff). That's an EF/AU coin, and the acetone will set you back a few bucks, so it's up to you whether it's worth it. If you think you might find similar coins in the future, it's definitely worth it. Read the MSDS, read the safety instructions, etc., use in a well-ventilated area, and get that nasty stuff off that cent before more damage is done! Best of luck.[/QUOTE]
