<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 338701, member: 4552&quot;]Hope your kidding there. Well water may contain almost anything on or in Earth. Never use that. </p><p>Do NOT use nail&nbsp; polish remover on coins. Do not use tap water on coins. Do not use anything you do not know what is the total amount of ingredients on coins. Note on a bottle of nail polish the numerous other ingredients and the exact amounts and not stipulated. This is due to proprietary informaion so others can not copy thier product. </p><p>The use of Acetone has been documented on this and many other coin forums. It is very dangerous if not used in a safe and secure invironment. As already noted best to use it outdoors. </p><p>With it&#039;s use attempt to use only glass items such as a glass dish, glass utensils to pick up the coins. You can put any coin in Actone for a few minutes to days or even weeks. It will not effect the metal. It is an Organic type compound and a coin is not organic so not much effect. It will take off anything that is not now part of the coins. </p><p>I suggest you do a search on this and other coin forums on the proper usage of any such chemicals. </p><p>Just a tip, prior to the usage of Acetone, place a small amount on a clean, glass dish and allow to evaporate. If there is any residue at all your Acetone has become contaminated and should not be used on coins. This happens if the container is a metalic container and the inner lining of that container had been compromised with a small inperfection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
