<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 2395702, member: 15199&quot;]Acetone is very volatile and if it was pure, any odor would be gone in a very short time. Even if the coin was much more porous than it appears, hidden acetone would be gone in the time you mentioned. It sounds as if you received it from someone else, so I might guess they used something such as acetone based fingernail polish remover, and you are smelling the residue. A way off thought is that when you bring the coin close to smell, you might be smelling some acetone smell from your breath. That is common is some metabolic defects such as diabetes, or liver damage, but you could have some else smell it away from you to eliminate that. I would still bet on the &#039;perfumed acetone &#039; nail polish remover.&nbsp;&nbsp; I would rinse with pure acetone a few times and let air dry. Interesting question ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
