So, I was takling to a close friend of mine about how you guys said acetone was the way to go... He asked two questions, and I did not really have good answers for them... They were "If you're using acetone (nail polish ingredient?), why not just use nail polish remover?"... I'm guessing because of the purity issue... And "Why couldn't you just use vinigar?"... I don't know why, but... It just doesn't seem like a good idea. Am I on the right track?

 

Vinegar is acidic, acetone is neutral.

Yes, you're right about purity as a problem with nail polish remover.

 

The real problem if it says it,s 100% pure its usually not!! Which can
Cause serious problems!

 

Vinegar is better for restoring dates on dateless buffaloes.
Its not recomended for cleaning coins, and it leaves a woody effect/striping effect showing that its been cleaned.

 

Warning! Warning! Danger Will Robinson!!

Humans can pass coins for decades, centuries amongst them, transferring them hand to contaminated hand, enduring who knows what along the way. But try and preserve them with some dangerous chemical, and boom! Nearly worthless now and forever more.
You know the Mayan civilization, as advanced as they thought they were, thought the world was flat, and they thought they were right at the time. Then somebody discovered it was round. Blew their theory all to hell, and now we see how silly that concept was. Can't wait for that day in numismatics. Can't wait to tell my grandchildren..."When I was younger, they thought coins were ruined forever and thought they knew it all".
Course by that time 98.5% of the coins will all be destroyed or damaged beyond all imagination, because they weren't preserved properly. The other 1.5% will be in Thurston's safe.
You folks are a pip. Please pass the grey poupon. dd:

 

If you leave a penny in vinegar to long, it will dissapear. I have ruined plenty of worthless pennies playing around, but vinegar is mean. It will turn it into a flat piece of nothing if left in it to long.

 

That will make Thurston and his band of upper tiers very happy. We've got 80...80....do I hear 85??

 

85 !!
