    Just to admit that you have coins with "black stuff" is much like your admission to being a felon in your prior life........is it not????

    I inherited this Morgan already painted pink. 40 years later I experimented dipping it in a witch's brew of household solvents.

    I've had more than one full-time dealer (and most folks on this board would recognize the name of one or more of them) beg me to sell this coin to them in its current EF45 holder as they have said they would dip off the black crud from the surfaces and shoot for an AU53 upon regrade. Not happening!...

    That would be a crime IMO. I'm glad you are the caretaker for now!

    I think it's less felonious than scrubbing it off

    Finally!!! I have so many options!!!! :D

    I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.

    I don't think I've ever had the need to soak a coin in acetone for more then a minute or two.

    It's probably more of a really dark brown, but still ...

    If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

    I would think that it's some gunk that got stuck there because of the incuse design.
