    Clean up on Mercury Dime with Bezel

    Clean up on Mercury Dime with Bezel, must be two dimes in bezel holder?

    I took a propane torch to it, the bulk of the build up came off with a pop, exploded when it got hot the rest of it started to crumble when I put more heat to the coin and than I just scraped it off with my finger nail.

    Re: Clean up on Mercury Dime with Bezel

    I agree with Mr. Tuff !! Maybe a mini treasure map inside, between the two coins.

    Good clean up, how did you do it ?

    Keep @ it and HH !!
