    And jubilant? You must remain 'jubilant' my friend. If not all bets are off. Jubilance is a trait most worthy for YN's and I know you will carry the standard.......

    I routinely get the "calm down kid" line from adult numismatists. ;)

    Nah. Some mystery show. It also had a few other coin episodes like the lost 1913 liberty nickel, and a spy nickel. ;)

    Acetone will not remove ordinary dirt & grime. And it absolutely will not remove toning !

    Chemicals like acetone and xylene are not coin dips ! They would more correctly be described as cleaning agents, just like distilled water is a cleaning agent. And as a general rule they are harmless to coins. The one caveat is that acetone can sometimes cause copper coins to turn weird colors over time.

    But it is correct that even when using distilled water, acetone, or xylene, you do need to know what you are doing. There is a right way to use them and a wrong way to use them.

    ALL coin dips contain an acid, and it is the acid that removes stuff from coins.
