<p>[QUOTE="Mountain Man, post: 7805254, member: 94733"]Cathy, welcome to CT. When asking a question such as your first post, photos are extremely important. Answering questions about coins or currency from photos is just a guess, in most cases. You, having the coin in hand, can tell more and need to describe that to us. From your original photo, one has a hard time telling exactly what you have, so better, additional photos with good lighting would help.</p><p>What a few members are posting about acetone didn't bother to explain why we recommend 100% pure acetone. In your case, nail polish remover was fine, but for collectible coins it is not. nail polish remover has additives to keep your cuticles from drying out, so it will leave a film on the coin, which would be detrimental to the coin. Hardware stores sell pure (or as pure as you might need) acetone. Hope that helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
