Hi guys,
Picked these 3 Indians up from my favorite LCS.
They were $1 apiece in the Assorted Indian cent box. She just gave them to me FREE!
I decided to try to restore them to a decent appearance. Maybe, a bath of acetone, a few picking with the toothpick and q-tip use, would be successful? Nothing to lose, right?
They still have some details, behind that gunk.

Coin Care is good for cleaning off gunk and verdigris from bronze coins. Also, a rose thorn works better than a toothpick.
Thanks

@joeykoins I have had good results lifting off those deposits with Verdicare and a frayed edged wood toothpick. Good luck. Peace Roy

Wizardsupply.com I believe. They had some last I knew
Not at any Walgreens, CVS...?

I picked this up at the recent show I went today!
I used it already on the 3 Indians.
I see an improvement. Used 5 Q-Tips already.
I display, shortly.

BEFORE
AFTER
This last one appears to have a Strike Through.
The final results, after the acetone bath. Then the use of the "Coin Care." It did remove most of the gunk around the numbers/letters?
Thanks guys.

Is it just me or does a top metal layer of the coins appear to be removed? The gunk came off but so did part of the coins?
