<p>[QUOTE="coleguy, post: 1533801, member: 9167"]If it is indeed creosote that is baked onto those, I doubt there is any solvent that will remove it, including acetone. My friend's shop once bought a bunch of coins that had been in a house fire. They were all MS coins, however, so the cost to send them to NCS for conservation was well worth it, and they came back in excellent condition. You might try acetone, but I'd ask someone with experience using it before hand.</p><p>Guy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
