<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Magnus87, post: 3724550, member: 96372&quot;]Razz: very nice coin!&nbsp; After the distilled water soak (which I suspect will give only limited results — hope I’m wrong) you may wish to try a good soak in acetone (pure stuff from a hardware store, NOT nail polish remover).&nbsp; If, say, an overnite bath doesn’t get the grunge off,&nbsp; you might try (believe it or not) a soak in olive oil.&nbsp; This might need a lengthy soak, so be patient.&nbsp; (Checking to see how it’s going is OK ...).&nbsp;&nbsp; Oh, and don’t waste the good Extra Virgin stuff; cooking grade works just as well, if not better (slightly higher concentration of oleic acid, which is what does the work).&nbsp; I currently have an otherwise nice VF 1871 IHC going into its third month — or is it the fourth — of treatment, but it was an ugly patch of hard black crud, not like yours.&nbsp; Mine already looks MUCH nicer!&nbsp; Let’s hear how it goes with you.</p><p>Dave S.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
