<p>[QUOTE="TheMont, post: 2652135, member: 80121"]I guess if the company put it into a plastic bottle it was the right kind of plastic. Keep in mind that the best use for acetone is to remove PVC residue, again, it has no effect on metal, (the coin) it will not remove toning or add to the luster of the coin. If your coin is just dirty, such as a coin found in the ground, then just rinse it in running water and pat it dry with a soft cloth, If the coin is extremely dirty, then soak it in water or if you must, acetone, overnight, to soften the dirt, then rinse. DO NOT rub, scrub, brush, etc. the coin, that will leave hairline scratches on the coin and definitely reduce its value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
