<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2104056, member: 19165&quot;]When I buy coins on ebay that have resided in a smoker&#039;s house/shop, I can immediately tell. The disgusting smell is impregnated in the holder (especially anything cardboard - plastic will have a film on it that can be washed off). When you open up a 2x2 that was in a smoker&#039;s house, you can definitely tell that they are not air-tight - the coin itself will smell of smoke. I quickly bathe these coins in acetone and remove the toxic residue. </p><p><br /></p><p>After de-toxifying my desk, washing my hands, taking out the trash, and disposing of the acetone, all traces of the noxious fumes have been removed and the coin has been saved. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you can&#039;t tell, I have an extremely low tolerance for tobacco products. Just a whiff of them makes me nauseous.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
