[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 3696280, member: 19165"]I use a small glass pyrex dish, like you would serve pickles in or something. Basically, anything glass that's big enough to hold your coins. Just be gentle as you are setting them in there. You don't need to soak for days, usually I only soak for 15-30 minutes. The example shown in the article I linked was an exception, because it was so thick the entire coin was green. It is perfectly fine to just stick your fingers in there and grab the coin by the edges. Acetone won't hurt you. It might sting if you have a cut on your finger, but it's fine. Just wash your hands thoroughly before and after (but you should do that anyways before handling raw coins). I always rinse in water, in case there are any contaminants still on the coin. I then let them air dry on a soft, clean cloth (do not pat dry).[/QUOTE]
