      Wreath Crown - Horrible Discolouration

      By Coys55 · Posted

      That’s what I thought. I wonder what the chances are of getting all that stuff off? Difficult to know without knowing exactly what it is unless we’re sure it’s degraded foam.

      If any plastic is still adhering to the coin, then Acetone will probably clear it and you can then review progress. It won't do any harm.

      Wreath Crown - Horrible Discolouration

      By Coys55 · Posted

      Would silver dip even get under the foam if it's covering most of the surface? I've been googling the "degraded foam" issue and some people suggest bathing in acetone. I can see why that may work if the fone is plastic based and I believe it's safe for silver coins becasue it's not a polish or abrasive. Any comments?

      Hammered ........

      By Citizen H · Posted

      .....its actually as the coin is.... if you take a look at the ruler the measurement is clear... a blurry coin with little to go on....its truly rubbed, washed and being only about 10mm in size..I was well impressed that   www.HistoricCoinage.com was able help out.  👍🙏

      Wreath Crown - Horrible Discolouration

      By Coys55 · Posted

      Ah that’s a thought; I once had a nice set of technical drawing instruments in a foam-lined case and when I opened it after about 40 years in storage it was a horrendous mess. It was so bad I just binned the whole lot. But no, I wouldn’t clean it myself in anything other than soap and water, and I assumed that silver dip would fall into the cleaning category and be a non-starter. Do you think that silver dip get that stuff off, if that’s what it is?
