[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 7796295, member: 112"]No, acetone won't do anything for those coins. It's true it won't hurt anything, but in reality it's a waste of time to ever try. Acetone is great for doing some things but there is a very limited list of things it can do ! Again, there are literally hundreds of posts on this subject. I urge you, and everybody else who has questions, to search for them and read them. MS70 is great at removing haze from coins, but that's really about all it's good for. And you DO NOT want to use it on copper ! MS70 will turn copper a bluish or purplish color - it is infamous for doing this ! Other coins, fine, but not on copper. As for E-Z-Est - you absolutely MUST know what you are doing to use this ! If you do not, it is extremely easy to permanently damage the coins ! So either have somebody teach you, in person, how to use it properly, or learn yourself the hard way and it takes some doing that way, but it can be done.
