This Double Heaume is from Liege. I wonder if
an Acetone bath would help this? Any suggestions?

This Four Mites was struck in Antwerp. This is

Yes; definitely think so. In any case, it certainly won’t do any harm. It might a rather long bath, however, from the looks of it. Centuries-old goop, no?
(Referring to the 1486 piece from Liege — II-90A)

 

@Magnus87 Would you recommend full strength or
would I dilute with something? If so what would you
recommend?

 

No; I always use it as it comes (as does everyone else who I’ve heard from who uses it.)
Bonne chance!

 

Full strength and the good stuff. Not from the drugstore. Even the ‘pure’ acetone for nail polish removal can have perfumes etc.

There are some excellent threads here about acetone use..I’m on my phone so useless to link right now. Do a search for ‘acetone’ though.

 

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. Just one more, where do
I get the "good" stuff?

 

I use the smaller can from Lowes or Home Depot.

 

One of my favorites. I bid on three others before I
finally won this.

 

This is a Double Groschen.

 

There are two varieties for this coin. One with a rounded "2"
in the date , the other with the "2" that looks like a "Z".
