<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shortgapbob, post: 206280, member: 6088&quot;]I&#039;m sure someone can give you a better definition than me, but let me start.&nbsp; Because of the demand for coins that are &quot;white,&quot; people will dip a coin that has started to tone somewhat into a chemical, usually acetone.&nbsp; This will remove the discoloration and normally not harm the surface, leaving the coin a lusturous, blast white.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>However, care should be taken.&nbsp; A coin must be properly rinsed after an acetone bath, and not wiped or rubbed dry, as that will leave hairlines on the coin.&nbsp; The coin, though, must be dried, or water spots will form on the surface of the coin. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Maybe someone can add more to this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
