<p>[QUOTE="calcol, post: 3174057, member: 77639"]Good advice, Jim. However, a rinse with purified water after the initial acetone bath can have the benefit of removing potentially corrosive inorganic salts which aren't soluble in acetone. These can get on a coin from a number of biological (sweat, spit, etc) and non-biological sources. Then there can be a final rinse with acetone to remove the water.</p><p><br /></p><p>The above scheme targets both polar and non-polar contaminants.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
