<p>[QUOTE="Aberlight, post: 204492, member: 6510"]I was considering using the paintbrush to lightly "dab" the affected corrosion areas with acetone followed by a rinse and airdry. Understanding how delicate the surfaces are I thought by dabbing the affected areas would keep me from having to submerse the coin in an acetone solution. Personally I dont like 100 year old coins that are pure white and shake my head at coins that have been cleaned. Since I have never used acetone I am trying to be as delicate as possible. Definantly will need to find a cheap nickel with corrosion to test this on. The only noticable loss of metal willl be on the rim.....hopefully.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
