Hey guys any ideas on how I can separate these two wheats with destroying them to badly? Someone glued them together and I'm dying to see the dates on them. I figure that the glue probably will have destroyed the face of them but oh well. image.jpg

Acetone bath should dissolve the glue and it shouldn't have damaged the coins.

Long enough to separate and dissolve the glue. Acetone won't damage the coins. Just don't put it in a plastic bowl!

Try a little "Dawn" liquid soap in a Rx bottle using hot water, soak over two days. Might dissolve what glue there is on coins. It works on tar on waterfowl oil spills, should work on your problem. I use is all the time to clean up some real "nasty" coinage.
