<p>[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 7828935, member: 84179"]Solvents like acetone and xylene only work on organics stuck to the surface. It does nothing to the toning/discoloration of the metal surface. I don't think I ever soaked a coin in acetone for more than a few hours. If it doesn't start loosening the residue by then, it's not going to do anything.</p><p><br /></p><p>FWIW, whatever is remaining on the token looks like corrosion pitting. The original metal on the surface has reacted and some of it is gone. Short of grinding it off, there is nothing you can do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 7828935, member: 84179"]Solvents like acetone and xylene only work on organics stuck to the surface. It does nothing to the toning/discoloration of the metal surface. I don't think I ever soaked a coin in acetone for more than a few hours. If it doesn't start loosening the residue by then, it's not going to do anything. FWIW, whatever is remaining on the token looks like corrosion pitting. The original metal on the surface has reacted and some of it is gone. Short of grinding it off, there is nothing you can do.[/QUOTE]
