<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 4579842, member: 33176&quot;]In clea... conserving a coin, one of the main things is to avoid wiping or rubbing it since this can move surface debris across the coin and cause scratches.&nbsp; Using pure solvents will do no harm to a coin.&nbsp; Acetone is thought by some to cause copper to discolor, but, given the age and color of this one, I don&#039;t think having a PURE acetone bath would hurt.&nbsp; Even better, PURE xylene would be good for a soak.&nbsp; At the least you could give it a soak in distilled water, pat or blot it dry and put it in an oven on low for a couple of hours to dry thoroughly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
