Will MS70 cleaner remove "mint wash" webbing from copper lincolns?

BigBen

Just curious to know if anybody has used this to remove the mint washwebbing from later copper lincoln wheat pennies? I have a bunch of these that if not for the webbing would be 65-66 reds..........HELP!

No, nothing will remove it other than a chisel.

I have not tried MS70 on copper, but it removes "mint wash" from clad coins very well.

Interesting that it works on clads. Maybe someone will chime in on using it on copper.

Try GOO GONE

1- wash hands in warm soapy water - make fingers crinkly clean
2- emerse coin in warm water
3- spray liberal amounts of GOO GONE on coin as you hold it between thumb and index finger
4- rub gently - keep coin lubed with the GOO
5- rinse coin in water
6- place coin on paper towel or use a can of air to blow dry water off
7- use hair dryer to dry completely
8- place on soft velvet or back in a holder of your choice.

GOO GONE is safe to use on anything- is non toxic and non acidic.

Nope. I've tried. That's what makes the 50's P's so hard to find in high grade.
