<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EvilKidsMeal, post: 1138831, member: 28937&quot;]I have used acetone and you cannot tell the coin was cleaned because frankly the acetone does not remove very much. Only fairly loose things and oils, but even that only really works when you catch it right after it got dirty, fingerprinted, oil on it, etc. The thing is, the longer something is on a coin, fingerprint for example, it will start to etch into a coin and acetone will not do anything to it. That is why you can buy cleaners that actually strip the metal, because that is the only that can get that off. The OP specifically said it was cleaned in which case acetone was not used, because acetone evaporates completely and frankly doesn&#039;t clean enough to notice that much change. Plain and simple something that is not strong enough to damage the metal, is also not strong enough to truly clean the coin. This is why you should never clean a coin, because basically it turns into, thinking you&#039;re cleaning a coin when you really aren&#039;t, or actually damaging instead of cleaning the coin. The majority of the time it turns into damage..[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
