<p>[QUOTE="Cowboy357, post: 1565642, member: 41818"]Ok so I found what works best from a suggestion a close dealer friend gave me. I soaked the nickels in Acetone for about 48hrs and when the time was up I filled one of those tooth washing machines that sprays the water at high pressure to remove plaque with distilled water this removed almost all of the gunk with no damage or change in the coins luster or tone. Then I placed them back into the acetone to clean once more tomorrow.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
