<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 520320, member: 4552&quot;]Way back to the original questions. For one thing as already noted Acetone will not remove many things on coins. For one it will not remove corrosion, rust, toning, etc. or at least the common types. It will remove fingerprints if recent since it will disolve oils and acids to a degree. An after dip or rinse with distilled water will also remove some dirts or substances that are water soluable. The thing to remember here is many of what people think of as dirt is in reality a substance formed by the coins metal combining with other substances. Once this happens, any removal of the new compound will naturally remove some of the coin. </p><p>As to those original coins mentioned. A dip in Acetone and then distilled water will not effect the coin and may not end up looking different at all. However, any slight, acidic fingerprints there but not presently visable would or should be gone and have little to no effect in the future. </p><p>One thing also missed here is if you do go through all that and then use your fingers to put the coins in a 2x2, your back to where you started.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
