<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afm1982, post: 617858, member: 15483&quot;]A few days ago, I was at the bank, and the teller two 1964 Kennedy Halves, and one 1965 Half.

While I know cleaning collectible coins is a big no-no, I had a little experiment. I gave the three coins an acetone bath (just normal nail polish remover) for about 10-20 mins, then wiped them off with an old cotton sock. You should have seen the brown smears on the sock when i was done, but the coins looked a heck of a lot cleaner.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since it worked so well, I was wondering what kind of damage it would do to an actual collectible coin?</p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts on using acetone to clean coins?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
