<p>[QUOTE="gbroke, post: 1183368, member: 22585"]Here is what I learned recently. A soak in some acetone will remove the fingerprints. In theory it shouldn't remove the toning. That is assuming the toning is actually the metal composition and not a foreign substance on the coin itself. I soaked a rainbow toned cent a couple weeks ago because it had tape residue on the reverse. The residue all came off, but so did most of the toning. That is because the toning was from finger oil, or something other than the metal itself. Hope this makes sense.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here was the cent I am referring to:</p><p>[ATTACH]123828.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
