[QUOTE="LostDutchman, post: 1914417, member: 16994"]As I have posted a few times before, I am very honest about the fact that I do practice proper coin conservation. I would like to start documenting some of the coins I conserve and the methods I use to do so. This is the coin I'm focusing on this thread. This proof 1940 walker has pretty significant PVC impairment. Luckily I can see that the surfaces below the PVC have not been harmed.... yet. [ATTACH]328372[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]328373[/ATTACH] The process begins with an acetone soak for approximately 5 minutes. Then put in a warm running water bath. The coin is then dipped quickly and returned to a running warm water bath and pat dried with a soft cloth towel. Final result: [ATTACH]328374[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]328375[/ATTACH] Now she's off to the grading company.[/QUOTE]
