Message:: [QUOTE="Bambam8778, post: 3252345, member: 80341"]I saw two deals on a nickel book and dime book of coins from craigslist and took the seller up on their offer. I wanted the silver war nickels (I collect them) and the silver dimes he had also. They were both in the old blue whitman folders. When I got home, I went to take a few out and they wouldn't come out. I don't know if he glued them in there or if they were bonded to the inside of their "hole of death" as I now call it! I kick myself I didn't get any pictures of when I took them out. They had what appeared to be glue and the blue backing on them stuck. I sat them in an old stainless steel coffee mug overnight with acetone overnight. Just rinsed them off and the crud came off but the bad black toning is still there and some spots where the glue used to be. (Side note) I had a kennedy half, Susan B and a bicentennial quarter in a Jewelery box for almost 15 years. They started to get that green toning on that I've heard about so I threw them in for giggles. They all came out clean and I couldn't be happier! Thank you acetone! I don't have any of that dip you guys talk about for the silver but I do have liquid silver cleaner. The nickels and dimes have no value other than melt so I'm assuming that it would be ok to use this on them to get rid of the black death toning they have? What are your thoughts?
