<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1427040, member: 112&quot;]Good post Paul. But if I had that coin I&#039;d be curious about one thing in particular. That would be to find out if the chemicals used on the coin to color it would still come off. Not with a dip, a dip will remove any toning. But instead with something that won&#039;t usually remove toning (natural toning anyway), like acetone.</p><p><br /></p><p>Usually when someone AT&#039;s a coin like that - putting liquid chemicals on the coin to color it - acetone will wash away that color. But I&#039;ve never tired it on a coin that has sat undisturbed for a long period of time like the one you have. If I had it, curiosity would get the best of me. I&#039;d have to pour a little acetone in a dish and dip just the bottom portion just to see what would happen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
