<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Endeavor, post: 2464978, member: 60292&quot;]Acetone bath is regarded as safe on coins by most collectors. I probably wouldn&#039;t have used a brush (no matter how soft). Even though the brush may help remove some of the gunk loosened by the acetone, I feel like any contact with the surface of the coin from anything other than acetone is damaging.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve heard other collector&#039;s mention that coins shouldn&#039;t be rinsed after an acetone bath. Especially with anything other than distilled water. However, I&#039;ve also heard that leaving the dried acetone can cause discoloration on the surface of the coin if not rinsed. I don&#039;t know what to believe. Unless the coin was already considered &quot;junk&quot; I probably wouldn&#039;t try acetone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
