<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 747258, member: 112&quot;]Acetone is not a coin dip, nor will it remove dirt &amp; grime and/or organic material. Acetone only removes PVC and oils and that&#039;s about it. So you could try it, but I doubt it would do anything to change the appearance of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now don&#039;t misunderstand me, you could dip the coin and probably remove the material, whatever it is. But if you did that all it would do would be to expose the damage that lies underneath all the dirt and grime. That&#039;s why the coin was labeled environmental damage. You may not be able to see it, perhaps recognize it would be a better term, but they can and did see it.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a basic truth in numismatics, you can change the appearance of a coin, but rarely can you can improve the appearance. You can remove one problem, but that will most times only expose or even cause another. </p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s why only certain coins should ever be dipped. Or why only certain coins should ever be submitted to NCS. After all, all they are gonna do is dip them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
