<p>[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 2562886, member: 13307"]JMHO, but it seems like a waste of good acetone (or whatever you end up doing to them.) For what it's worth I see what looks like two different sets of coins. The first set of photos show coins that, while you may be able to stop any further deterioration, will never be attractive no matter how much conservation is done to them (they have that "camouflage" look to them.) The second set make the coins look much, much worse...not even uncirculated. Possibly metal detecting finds. So, not sure if it's your photos or if it's the coins...but to me, those are lost causes. Now, if you're doing it for "research" (to see what effect your methods have) or "practice," have at them. </p><p><br /></p><p>Otherwise, IMO it's a waste of time and conservation materials.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, this is just one man's opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
