<p>[QUOTE="Boss, post: 520092, member: 15110"]I used isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol)- ran out of acetone. Coin was totally immersed in plastic cup of mineral oil. Patted coin dry after several dippings in alcohol. And yes, I agree people jump all over coins and make bold claims. I have mixed multiple chemicals on low end problem coins, and I'm not even sure what I did and I'm pretty sure no one could have accurately predicted what I did. Mineral oil, then olive oil.then MS 70, heating- etc, just for my own educational purposes. Greg (a certified coin Doc as far as I can tell) on NGC boards has a good post on this, Try this stuff for yourself and come to you own conclusions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
