[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 386564, member: 112"]99% of the people out there will tell you no. I'll tell you yes, and it can do it in more than 1 way. First of all, acetone is no different than any other chemical, if used improperly it will be harmful to the coin. Now how do you use it improperly ? Easy, don't dip the coin repeatedly in the same dish of acetone. If you do, what the acetone cleaned off in the first dipping will go into solution in the acetone and remain on the coin when the acetone dries. Forget to thoroughly rinse the coin in distilled water and you can again end up with residue. Another way that acetone can be harmful to the coin, at least in a monetary sense, is that it may remove dirt, grime or contaminants that were covering up something that would cause the coin the coin to grade lower than it would have if it had not been cleaned with the acetone.
