<p>[QUOTE="Phil's Coins, post: 5167054, member: 112104"]PLEASE DO NOT USE ACETONE! You might dip it in acetone for just a second and be ok, BUT there is a chance it will RUIN the coin (based on my own experience) I would stick to xylene and verti care as suggested above. ALSO I have found in the past that the TPG suggested above does not produce consistent grades ie, 1914 D graded by icg came back as AU and after speaking with my mentor who has since passed he advised me that the coin was not even close to AU, he worked as a grader for one of the TPG's and at his suggestion it was sent to another company who confirmed his grade of XF-40. He also is the one that told me that ICG stands for I Cant Grade. I guess if you want to use them it is your decision, but I have had nothing but doubts on several coins I have looked at and purchased from other dealers who discount coins graded by ICG.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
