<p>[QUOTE="kangayou, post: 976881, member: 23111"]I have noticed this on both pre and post 1982 LMC's when using dirty acetone. I experimented with some common circulated cents sarting with dirty acetone and then rinsing with tap water and drying with a towel ( all intentional no-no's ). They started to obtain those purple & blue tones sort of like the oils you see in the run off water in gutters shortly after rain begins to come down. Then I rubbed "Pantene Pro-V Brunette Expressions Daily Color Enhancing Shampoo" liberally and evenly over the whole coin and rinse with tap water withing 20 seconds (any longer it will bleach the coin to off-white) and once again dried roughly with a towel and now I had purples , blue, yellows and brown tones that moved in a rainbow tone as I swirled/tipped the coins. Something I haven't done is to check the status of those same coins to see what the long term effects would be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
