Send it in to the Nova Scotia Research Society (Oak Island) so they can do a chemical analysis maybe deteremine the age of substance Non-Destructive Testing carbon testing for removal soak time in a chemical to be determined at a later date.
what 291fifth said, send it to the melter, you're already past breaking even on it because of time wasted thinking, reading and trying to fix it. think about it.......................
I'm guessing the OP is just having fun with his coin while enjoying the challenge of getting that gunk off the coin without damaging the coin.

You ain’t got that sombich clean yet?
Always looking to add knowledge!
It's not about money only !
Knowledge is good but dangerous chemicals, when not carefully used, are not.
How about this prooflike Morgan? I'm soaking it in acetone, wonder if there is anything stronger? Upper right edge.
