[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1680940, member: 112"]You can buy pure acetone at any hardware or home improvement store. And no, using acetone on a coin is not considered harsh cleaning. Acetone is used on coins all the time. That said, I don't think acetone would help in your case. That green spot looks like verdigris to me and acetone has no effect on verdigris. My advice would be to just leave it alone and store the coin properly.[/QUOTE]
