Nail polish remover does contain acetone, but it also contains a variety of other chemicals/perfumes/skin conditioners, and these extra ingredients can vary from brand to brand.&nbsp; While the acetone is OK for removing organic residue, some/most/all of the extra ingredients may damage, discolor or leave a harmful residue on your coin.&nbsp; That’s why you should never use nail polish remover on a coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW:&nbsp; I see nothing on your 85D dent that would indicate a clashed die.&nbsp; You would not see clash marks on a recessed area of the die (Lincoln&#039;s jacket, without any marks on the high points (fields).</p><p><br /></p><p>Go to <a href="http://www.maddieclashes.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.maddieclashes.com" rel="nofollow">www.maddieclashes.com</a> and look at their overlays.&nbsp; That will give you a good background on where on a coin to look for evidence of clashing[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
