<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 516550, member: 112&quot;]A lot of people always tell you to pat a coin dry because that&#039;s what they have heard or read elsewhere. But that doesn&#039;t mean that it is the way to go. Any time you touch the surface of a coin with a cloth or paper towel you run the risk of creating a hairline. Much easier, and better for the coin to avoid it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have posted this numerous times but here we go again. To remove PVC from a coin use pure acetone. Get 4 different containers, 3 of them with acetone in them, and dry clean cloth. In the first soak the coin for a bit, that may mean a few minutes or an hour. In very bad cases it may be overnight. But then remove the coin and place it in the second container, usually a minute or so is enough. Then dip the coin the third container, and then dip it in the container with the distilled water. Then stand the coin on edge, on the cloth, up against something and allow it to air dry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
