[QUOTE="lkeigwin, post: 1411879, member: 30400"]As Doug says, acetone is harmless. It reacts with organic material. I've soaked coins for weeks in acetone. You don't need to worry about a quick dip. Below is a 20c piece that was in an old ANACS slab (sorry...old images). I tried crossing it to PCGS but it was declared "questionable color". I gave it a 10 second acetone bath and you can see the results below. The artificial toning, intentional or otherwise, was instantly removed. Lance.
