<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 396582, member: 9204&quot;]Wow. I bought some acetone (at last!) tonight. I went at a bag of world coins for about two hours with q-tips. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, before anyone criticizes me that the method was too harsh - these things were disgusting. They actually smelled. I swear, somebody spilled coffee on them at one point. Add to that the fact that half of them used to be glued to something. And did I mention that every single coin had PVC residue? </p><p><br /></p><p>That being said - there are some fascinating coins in here - nothing newer than WWII. Mostly European. I&#039;ll post pictures in another thread when I get the chance. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One question - is there anything that can be done for aluminum coinage? About a quarter of the lot was low denomination Nazi aluminum, in desperate need of restoration.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
