Acetone doesn't work on oils very well, use xylene to remove oils and oil based products. But to my knowledge, vaseline won't do anything to help...
So if I understand you correctly, based on this and your previous comments - - you are saying that acetone can remove luster from a coin. That...
Chris, did you really mean to say "acetone" ? Or did you mean to say something else ?
And I'll tell both you to just put a stop to it. You can disagree all you want, but that's where it ends.

You got a short memory Dave ? There's previous case law on exactly this issue of Daniel's so called fantasy coins. “a deviation of one digit in...
Hmmm - a hundred years from now they might be asking the same kinds of questions as you guys are today - [ATTACH] [ATTACH] That is just one...
