<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 4768978, member: 33176&quot;][USER=103058]@PaulTudor[/USER] you have a beautiful coin I wish I had, and I can respect your desire to preserve it in as good a state as you can for as long as you can.&nbsp; Acetone will not harm your coin.&nbsp; Distilled water will not harm your coin.&nbsp; Storing your coin in a dry, moderately cool place in a flip or hard case would probably protect it for the rest of your life or longer.&nbsp; If you wish to improve the appearance of the coin, the only thing I would suggest is a rinse with running hot water in the sink where you have placed it on a piece of cloth to protect from dings.&nbsp; Wash your hands and give it a turn so the running hot water can carry off any inorganic salts.&nbsp; I would then rinse it thoroughly with distilled water and either pat it dry ([USER=97872]@Robert Ransom[/USER]) or let it air dry.&nbsp; The acetone soak would be optional but wouldn&#039;t hurt it.&nbsp; If you decide to do any conservation, let us see how it comes out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
