<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 4563294, member: 15199"]Acetone should be OK, I would soak them overnight myself and then use a very very soft artist brush to just sweep over the stained area ( while the coin is covered by the acetone) to lift any soluble nicotine residue off the surface. Do not rinse the coin with water at all, just hold it vertical by the edge and most of the acetone flows off, and then continue for a minute to allow all of the acetone to evaporate. No open flames in the room ! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Jim</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course if it is still there, most likely it will stay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
