Just to let you know, it looks like there is extra metal everywhere on this coin, but I know that is just gunk.
What kind of acidtone shouldn't I use? Or do you have any recommendations on the brand I should buy? And how long do you recommend leaving it in there for? Reason why I ask is because I know that some acidtone has extra chemicals like bitterant so kids don't eat the acidtone
Its Called ACETONE. You will find it at a paint store. Brand name does not matter. Soak in CLOSED container. VERY Flammable. One day should do it if it just glue or like substance on it. Do a post research for Acetone, and do a little reading first.
Sweet. Will do that and inquire back to you when i get it looking nice and clean again. Thanks for your response I appreciate it
Search for Coin Cleaning too will find you some good info. Then you will probably have more questions. As this tends to be quite a controversial subject. as to the extra chemicals, it is so small amount they are not required to put it on label.
Acetone is easy to find. Lowe's, Depot, Ace Hardware. A bath or two might improve the looks of the coin. Don't rub it with anything. Just see if the acetone baths helps.
Not annoying at all , And no, it does have perfumes and other "Stuff" in it. that "stuff" can soak into the surface, or react with it.
