  1. No idea if it was cleaned prior to me getting hold of it. Could it be the way I photographed it with a mobile phone and fluorescent lighting? When I tried the acetone I did not dip it just dabbed it with a q tip. Did not get any dirt off with it, the coin looks exactly the same as before I tried the acetone.
  2. Yes it is a pretty coin (thats probably not a correct term to use) I especially like the head of Victoria on the other side. I will certainly be collecting more of them.It is a pity about the fingerprint, now I know its there its annoying me but i will just put it down to experience and look for better examples. Thank you everyone for your advice on my first posting.
  3. Thank you, that was nice and easy. Hope it looks okay when you view it?
  4. I do have a picture, but cannot figure out how to paste it onto the page. Looks like I need to create a URL? Do you know if there is a guide somewhere on the site that tells me how to do it?
  5. Hi All My first post and new to coin collecting. I have a 1856 half penny that has what looks like a fingerprint on the reverse. I have tried acetone but no no joy in removing it. Any help or advice on getting rid of it would be appreciated.
