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.
