[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 438903, member: 112"]Howdy jburke - Welcome to the Forum !! Yes, you need to dip them in pure acetone (not fingernail polish remover). The coins may or may not be damaged, you won't know until you are done. But get 3 shallow bowls, soak each coin, 1 at a time, in the first bowl for 10 minutes or so. Then place the coin in the 2nd bowl for 10 minutes and then in the 3rd bowl. Then dispose of that acetone, rinse the coin in distilled water and allow to air dry. Use new acetone for each coin and repeat the process.[/QUOTE]
