<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 1493491, member: 33176&quot;]Heating acetone is not a particularly good idea, aside from being dangerous (as people have said) I don&#039;t think any stripping effect would be accelerated that much.&nbsp; The chloroform is an interesting idea, but chloroform does tend to be somewhat dangerous (although it really does smell good, kind of like juicy fruit gum) and I am not sure what a chlorinated solvent would do to coinage metals.&nbsp; Another possibility would be methylene chloride which used to be found in paint strippers along with methyl alcohol and sodium hydroxide.&nbsp; Safer to stick to materials available to collectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
