<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 570430, member: 9474&quot;]Did you run the coin under hot water?&nbsp; I have always heard that IF you do decide to clean your coins that running them under hot water helps raise the temp of the coin and therefore helps with the evaporation of the water on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, and probably a lot of collectors will tell you this... unless it is a coin that absolutely means nothing, then fine go ahead and do that...... but I don&#039;t want the coin to be exposed to massive temperature changes.&nbsp; What I do if I should clean a coin is run it under warm water (as close to room temp as possible). Then lightly blow dry it off with a hair dryer that only blows cool air.&nbsp; My wife has one that does and it works well.&nbsp; I don&#039;t do it often, but it seem to work for me.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The 96 ASE is one of the bigger ones and much attention should be brought to this.&nbsp; I would redip it in acetone and run through the steps above and see if that works.&nbsp; Then if that fails, at that point the 96 is probably ruined and I would just dip it in silver cleaner.... but really, really quick (&lt;5sec) and see if that does anything.&nbsp; I hope everything works out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
