<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 4311111, member: 112"]You could try but I doubt acetone would have much if any effect at all. I can see that coin has a few spots of verdigris on it, and maybe some plain old dirt and grime on the shield and a few other places. A good soak in distilled water would probably do more good at removing that than anything. And just a soak, no brushing, wiping, rubbing - no anything but soaking it and swishing it around in the water. And when you're done, stand it on edge on a soft towel and lean it up against the backsplash on your counter over night to let it dry.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the verdigris, you could get that off with Verdi-Care if you can find some. Simply follow the directions that come with it. But there isn't anything else that'll take it off safely. But if you store it correctly the verdigris will just stay like that and do no more harm than it already has.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
