      Heat it up with a propane torch and it will flow out. It is lead so be careful and wear a respirator.

      What he said... I used a torch and a small wire brush to get it done.

      You can see how we did my quarter in this tech story (including the lead part)

      Make sure the respirator you use has magenta filters. Dust masks, and other filter colors will not stop the lead from reaching your lungs.
      The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
