<p>[QUOTE=&quot;blackarrow, post: 3228119, member: 98651&quot;]Hello,</p><p><br /></p><p>I found a great post from Doug on using acetone to clean coins. Right now, I have 3 silver coins which are already 12 hours in acetone, and I will take them out in another 12 hours, rinse them two more times in clean acetone and I hope there will be some difference. There are some photos of each coins I took before putting them in acetone.</p><p><br /></p><p>This some pvc residue on one coin, and for other coins, I could not find out what kind of residue is on them exactly. In the post I mentioned, it says that acetone is not very good for ordinary dirt and grime.</p><p><br /></p><p>Would it be wise to first soak a coin in lets say distilled water (or 2 times distilled water) to try to remove the dirt and grime (of course, just dipping, without any kind of brushing or wiping) and then continue with acetone procedure? What about soapy bath (distilled water and just little bit of soap) instead distilled water only?</p><p><br /></p><p>Is this procedure for silver coins only or should it be used on aluminium, stainless stell, zink etc. coins?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
