<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheMont, post: 2584896, member: 80121&quot;]The main use of acetone is to get rid of the residue from storing coins in PVC flips. It is not a dip. It will remove the residue, but has no effect on the coin itself. It does not remove patina, toning or for that matter effect the coin in any manner whatsoever. I have used it to remove dirt and grime, but again, it works best with PVC residue and as far as any coin-silver, gold, copper, etc. it is inert and will not effect the metal. Now if the PVC residue or dirt and grime is hiding something on the coin or the coin has been doctored, it may expose what&#039;s under what you are removing.</p><p><br /></p><p>After soaking in&nbsp; acetone, I give it a bath with distilled water and GENTLY dab it dry with a micro fiber cloth. If air dried it may leave water spots. The vapor from acetone is not toxic, but the liquid is extremely flammable, that&#039;s why the label will always say use in a well ventilated area away from any flame.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know most of you know this, but for the newbies, if the flip is soft, it&#039;s PVC, do not store your coins in them. Safe flips are hard and stiff, they are safe for storage, but not as safe as&nbsp; capsules.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just received my Morgan Dollar overstrike from Daniel Carr (it is absolutely Great) and, with gloved hands took it out of the flip and put it into a capsule even though he uses the non-PVC flips.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
