<p>[QUOTE="green18, post: 1957354, member: 10103"]Vinegar has acid so steer clear of that. Soap will leave a residue on the coin which may show up weeks later in the form of spotting. The acetone shouldn't harm anything. Soak the coin in the acetone for a few minutes and observe the results. Longer soaks may be required. Just don't forget about the coin that's soaking. After you feel that the coin is ready to come out of the bath, rinse it with distilled water and allow it to dry on a soft surface.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
