I think the debate about being on dark was if the acetone would deteriorate in light. In the short amount of time it would be in there soaking, it...
I usually start with 10 minutes. I think some people soak for hours or a day. I think it should start to work faster. Just let it soak for the...
A couple bucks?
Found this 1971 D Kennedy half about a year ago. Noticed the misaligned die was pretty nice. You can actually see a little reeding on the inner...

Was looking over my old coins i inherited tonight and had a few questions about my 1865 nickel 3 cent piece. My first observation is it seems...
I was thinking the same thing about the rub spots.
Would like to remove any contaminants that may be on the coin making it darker. If it's just toning, it won't change any. Maybe if there are...
