soak to kill the green? I do not want to do anyting to remove the corrosion because it'll kill the coins "skin"... underneath there's a very nice mild cartwheel not evident in the images....

the only way I can touch one of these for type is to score an impared version image

    A long soak in the acetone should do the trick.

    Aren't those blowing up right now? If you bought it a few years ago, you probably can't lose anyway, right?

    I am sad I sold the ones I had, when I did, now.

    I guess Id sell depending on what I could get for it image but I prefer to keep it, 'specially since it cartwheels a bit.

    Really, I personally don't think it looks that bad. The only thing that catches my eye negatively are the (rim nicks?) around the edge.

    it's really dark in hand... only under the monster hot tungsten lights did the green come out. I'll soak a few times and see what that knocks loose but I'm content to have it for type, in an air tite sitting in my junque box
