<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 4899540, member: 105098&quot;]Agree with Spark1951 in theory. it won&#039;t turn copper pink. Acetone is a 7 pH, not an acid or a base, right in the middle of the road like distilled water, but it is a solvent. it will break down a lot of schmutz and junk that has built up on a coin what acetone won&#039;t do, xylene might do, it&#039;s a different solvent and it also is a similar pH might be a 6.5 pH actually. anyways, it will break down and remove buildup junk on coins in a lot of cases....</p><p><br /></p><p>.....And the surface underneath that stuff that was on there.... might be a different color than the rest of the coin and toned differently.</p><p><br /></p><p>Otherwise though Acetone won&#039;t etch or damage or corrode the metal, it won&#039;t even remove patina or toning. it just breaks down the gunk buildup.</p><p><br /></p><p>The one caveat I feel I need to note is you may not like what&#039;s under the junk on the surface of the coin and what it looks like after it&#039;s removed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
