<p>[QUOTE="Coinchemistry 2012, post: 2110742, member: 28107"]It depends on the method used to AT the coin. Acetone will remove <u>organic</u> contaminants from the surface of a coin and others that are acetone soluble. Not all contaminants or artificial toning are acetone soluble. Acetone insoluble compounds (including many inorganic compounds) cannot be removed by rinsing a coin in acetone. So if the color comes off in acetone, it is definitely AT or debris/haze and not natural toning; however, the fact that it is not removed does not mean that it is NT.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
