<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 623395, member: 4552&quot;]Odd that this is so long a post since it has been brought up so many times. A search of this web site for cleaning coins, Acetone, etc should bring up enough info for a book. </p><p>As for Acetone eating a coin. I&#039;ve placed several different types of coins in a jar, covered it, place in my garage for a few days, then out in the Sun for a few days. Removing those coins showed nothing happened at all except the one Roosevelt Dime did appear a bit cleaner. Pennies, Nickels, Quarters all showed nothing and all in the same jar at the same time. Nothing dissolved.</p><p>In the past I&#039;ve used almost every possible solution to test the cleaning abilities on coins, no rare ones of course. This would include battery Acid, Acetone, baking soda and water, Lemon Juice, Ketchup, Nitric Acid, Vinegar, spit, in the wash with cloths and almost anything possible. If a coin is so bad, dirty, dented, worn it makes a great experimental object. </p><p>At Walmart they now sell several types of jewlery cleaners. The one for Silver can really do some damage to a Silver Coin. I had a Mercury Dime that was really, really a mess and placed it in there. It got some really odd discolorations. </p><p>For really Uncirculated of Proof coins almost anything done in the way of cleaning will leave it&#039;s toll.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
