<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Illya2, post: 84643, member: 2676&quot;]Spider, there are solvents which will work on Lucite, most of them being cocktails of organic solvents, particularly chlorinated solvents. While these should not affect pure gold they could have some corrosive influence on silver. However the end result will probably be better than a coin all gunked up with Lucite. Also if you minimize the contact time with the chlorinated solvents and then remove those solvents promptly with an acetone rinse you might come out fairly well. This is beyond the realm of my personal experience as I have never encountered coins encased in Lucite but if they were my coins I&#039;d give it a go. Try it out on one of the least valuable ones first. Then give it a couple of days to see what might eventually result. There certainly shouldn&#039;t be any hurry if the coins have been in the Lucite a long time already anyway. Here is a link to one of the solvents.&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://www.misterplexi.com/solvent.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.misterplexi.com/solvent.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.misterplexi.com/solvent.html</a></p><p>&nbsp; You might shop around. Probably you can get something at a hardware store or printing supply house which would work. These chlorinated cocktails are fairly common stuff.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
