  • No telling how much of that is just dirt/pollution.

    I would certainly dip it in acetone just to see what's really there. It might actually have a little luster left, you never know.
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

  • an acetone dip won't hurt image
  • This may be a silly question but .... how do you get the acetone off the coin once it has been dipped?

    Why dip it? It looks fine just the way it is. Does everything have to be blast white or a rainbow toned monster?

  • You don't need anything to get the acetone off the coin, it will evaporate extremely quickly and leaves no residue.

    cosmos66... Acetone will quickly evaporate off the coin on it's own. Be very careful handling this stuff. It is VERY flammable. Only use in well ventelated areas.... like outdoors. You would be suprised by the number of coin cleaners and coin doctors who have been found dead over the years,(no joke)killed by the chemicals and the poisons that they use on coins.

    techeff... Nice coin, I bet it has more luster than the image shows. I would leave it be, but then again acetone will not affect the toning, it will only remove unwanted residue.

    I have a few darker but still nicely attractive and original morgans. I'd say keep on enjoying it. image
