<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gilbert, post: 3055944, member: 73104&quot;]After a close inspection, following its purchase, I thought to myself that at one time the entire coin had been coated with the black &quot;goo&quot; or &quot;crust&quot; as you call it, and the previous owner had tried removing it using unknown methods, with limited success.&nbsp; I did soak it in Acetone for a day with no improvement, followed by a soaking in xylene, also for a day, again with no improvement.&nbsp; That is why I was toying with using a dip.&nbsp; I really like the coin.&nbsp; Good detail, regardless of the surface.&nbsp; Since I didn&#039;t spend a bloody fortune maybe I will experiment and see what happens.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
