<p>[QUOTE=&quot;monkeyman, post: 267944, member: 9662&quot;]ok, so i tried some Acetone, well actually nail polish remover on a 1954 wheat cent.&nbsp; The cent was in ms 60 condition because it had a lot of dirt, ect and a partual fingerprint on the obverse.&nbsp; AFter soaking in the nail polish remover for 20 seconds.&nbsp; I took the coin out, and washed it off, then took a cu tip and tried to remove some of the dirt.&nbsp; Nothing really happened, but after trying this several times, there appeared to be no dirt on the obverse and the same amount on the reverse(but thats just because I didnt operate on the reverse)&nbsp; So anyway, after all the cleaning and air drying had been completed the coin looks toned in certain areas.&nbsp; I cant post a pic right now, but would ngc realize that this coin was cleaned, or would they simply think that it was toned, thus giving it a higher grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
