<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nesvt, post: 765079, member: 1749&quot;]cphine, I don&#039;t know if I answered your question.&nbsp; My coins were all uncirculated.&nbsp; I put them in a glass dish, one at a time, soaked in acetone for about 20-30 seconds, removed, placed on soft cloth, air dry/evaporate. Sometimes I would give the coin a second quick (5-10 seconds) rinse in a second dish of acetone.&nbsp; This is to remove any stuff that may have been left on the surface from the first rinse.&nbsp; I don&#039;t swirl or touch the coin with anything.&nbsp; Some people will use a q-tip soaked in acetone, while the coin is submerged in acetone, to lightly work any grime away.&nbsp; I don&#039;t.&nbsp; I don&#039;t to take the chance of adding hairlines.</p><p>For circulated coins, I might soak longer to remove any noticeable PVC.&nbsp; I like dirt and crud.&nbsp; I leave that on the coin.&nbsp; I&#039;m only worried about PVC.</p><p>There are a lot of precautions you have to take with acetone.&nbsp; Very flammable. Fumes are dangerous.&nbsp; Search for the forum for more details.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
