<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CircCam, post: 2894851, member: 85675&quot;]Wanted to mention on this thread- I did take seriously the advice given to leave them alone.&nbsp; The pictures I took above were awful and didn&#039;t show the film on the surfaces I had mentioned very well, but it was caked on the inside of the can they were in for decades.</p><p><br /></p><p>I tried an acetone soak on one and it removed whatever was on there and revealed much more lustrous surfaces than I expected.&nbsp; I realize acetone shouldn&#039;t do that under most circumstances- at least I&#039;ve never seen it so drastic. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just wanted to clarify that I went into it accepting that it could very well make things worse on the one coin and if it did (or did nothing) I was going to leave them all alone... I think I just got lucky in this particular instance since whatever was on them came right off. </p><p><br /></p><p>Definitely a learning experience and I can see why I&#039;ve heard that it can go the other way and reveal things negatively for sure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
