<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 5165012, member: 77639&quot;]Sorry to read what happened.&nbsp; Put them through several changes of acetone.&nbsp; Acetone will draw out all the water that’s not chemically bound&nbsp; &nbsp; …&nbsp;&nbsp; acetone and water are miscible in all proportions.&nbsp;&nbsp; Remember acetone is very flammable, and its vapor is flammable and explosive&nbsp; … like gasoline.&nbsp;&nbsp; Do NOT rinse with water&nbsp; … whole idea is to arrest the nasty process caused by water.&nbsp;&nbsp; Store them in a clean, dry environment after all the acetone has evaporated from them … should not be able to smell acetone on them … won’t take long.&nbsp; A sealed plastic container with a packet of desiccant is ideal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now that they’re safe, either you’ve got to learn a lot about restoring coins (internet, books, clubs, dealers, etc.) or take them to someone who knows.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
