<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 3055899, member: 26302"]I agree. Sometimes what you think is the "natural" color of a copper coin is not, and once the acetone removes a layer of stuff it changes the color. People think the acetone damaged the coin, when in fact the coin was probably that color all along and the acetone simply showed you the truth. I have had that once with an ancient. They had used some kind of marker to color in some spots. When I put it in acetone the marker came off, and I could see the spots. I think a lot of this "acetone discolors copper" is this in one way or another.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
