<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 490862, member: 66"]This can be especially true with copper coins. Copper seems to almost "attract" a film of oil to itself and you never really see a copper coin without this film. After a dipin acetone a copper coin can have a ghastly dry appearance. If it does that can be corrected witha a VERY light coatin of mineral oil or a silicone based oil such as that found in blue ribbon coin conditioner. The problem is getting the film on thin enough and evenly</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>With as highly volitile as acetone is that isn't really a problem. A few seconds and most of it is gone, a couple minutes and it is GONE. You are much more likely to risk damage from traces of water left on the surface of the coin from a water rinse. I do tend to do a water rinse, but then I do a final acetone rinse to make sure all of the water is gone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
