UPDATE: Possible $1 gold coin love token
Its been awhile since I have posted, hope all is well!, I need a little help I found this yesterday..I believe it is a $1 dollar gold coin love token, it is the exact size of a $1 gold coin, it looks like it was surrounded by what I now believe was a zinc or some metal similar bezel, does anyone here know how i can safely remove the corrosion from the bezel without damaging the coin or gold object? ty vm...jd
UPDATE: I took it to a local vintage jeweler its def gold he believes it was a $1 gold coin also, we got 80% of the corrosion off i decided to leave some on, he said the reverse of the coin was destroyed from the process used to heat bond it to a copper/zinc alloy and it was most likely a cuff link or button.
