<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tanton, post: 2795249, member: 85554&quot;]Okay looks like we both have the same understanding on the subject. With that said, I just went over the last few coins I dipped in the acetone overnight. In theory I understand that the acetone would remove any organic layer to reveal a potentially different tone beneath- is that what I&#039;m seeing here in these 6? The toning is noticibly more vibrant/colorful, is that considered as common or as &quot;altered toning&quot;?</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;With this batch I soaked for 8ish hours then went over each one by one with a q tip to pick up any residues left behind. When directly pulled from the dip and air dried the surface was slightly fogged, but then dampening/going over again with the qtip cleared it to a bright shine however also revealed the vibrant color. </p><p><br /></p><p>Would the qtip leave the coloring or is that just an example of acetone revealing a new surface below the organic stuff that was removed? Reluctantly I don&#039;t have any pictures at the same angles to show any toning from before dipping, but that&#039;s only because I didn&#039;t notice anything special in the tone aside from a higher luster on them. I suppose I was more surprised with the result being the way they came out, and wasn&#039;t sure if it was a negative outcome vs leaving them how they were before.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
