<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2584879, member: 46237&quot;]You can&#039;t really tell in advance if the coin may have hidden defects that will be revealed by acetone. If acetone removes something from the coin, it&#039;s a contaminant. Do you really want coins with contaminants on them (read - likely doctored) that are concealing problems?</p><p><br /></p><p>More of a concern is having a coin encapsulated that has contaminants on them that may damage the coin after it is slabbed such as finger oils or PVC residue. Once it&#039;s been slabbed, you have to crack the coin out if you see problems developing that need to be addressed, so it&#039;s better to use an acetone soak on all your coins before submission to be sure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
