[QUOTE="charlietodd, post: 2193648, member: 46521"]Well I had to leave unexpectedly for the weekend. So I wasn't able to monitor the progress completely. I ended up leaving it soaking almost continuous for 48hrs. At first I was checking it every few hours, and nothing was changing, so I put it in fresh acetone Saturday morning and just got home, and I definitely can see a difference in the coin, it looks like all the PVC is gone, and just the black spot remains. The front looks brighter and, the back looks the same. I'm trying to do a better job with the pics, I'm using my rebel t3-I, with the smallest lens and macro setting, Ios is 200, if anyone has some suggestion's to help. It just started pouring rain here, if the weather breaks and I can get some sunlight I will try to get pics today, but if not I will first chance I have.. I would say it was a success..! The coin looks a 1000 times better..!, doesn't look like it was tampered with at all. No unusual bright, really clean spots that look like they don't belong there...[/QUOTE]
