Soaking in PAM dissolved most of the gunk to reveal what the "asphalt" did not cover.
Wha?? It's a damaged 1909 VDB cent, no S.

I told you "NOT" to scratch this area of the coin looking for an S!!! 😱 😭

Maybe we can glue another s on it 😳
Much better to drill a hole through the S instead -

Emi can find the S.
There she blows captain ! Scared and Tanned.
This specimen is still soaking in acetone. Little, by little, the "asphalt" is emulsifying.
Soaking it in VERDI-CARE wouldn't hurt. It won't help much but it wouldn't hurt.
