<p>[QUOTE="Spark1951, post: 6459348, member: 90692"]An acetone bath to remove organic grime won’t hurt them nor render them “cleaned”. The problem is <i><b>improperly</b></i> cleaning because you don’t know what you’re doing. Making them “shiny” makes them appear un-natural. Acetone will not disturb the surfaces, but it is not foolproof. Removing dirt and grime may expose a protected area and leave the coin with a mottled appearance...jmho...Spark[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
