[QUOTE="CircCam, post: 3904989, member: 85675"]Soaking some completely original coins in any liquid, even distilled water can remove stuff I’d rather have left on... admittedly this is a very small percentage of coins that I’m referring to but I mentioned it for the sake of new folks hearing “acetone can do no harm” in lots of places. If you want to leave it truly original, that means the dust that fell off great great grandpa’s spectacles, the oil from hundreds of hands, anything that might be on there that can come off when submerged in liquid.
