<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2435235, member: 69760&quot;]Usually, if they&#039;re in their original packaging, barring any discoloration and such, I&#039;d simply place the coins straight away into Quadrums. However, as I was browsing through some &#039;different&#039; raw silver coins, gimmick or not, I liked the designs and they were at a good price. So I was thinking of putting them in acetone before they&#039;d get into Quadrum holders.</p><p><br /></p><p>That made me wonder, are these ok to put into acetone, or will they eat away the non-silver, non-metal components? I&#039;d assume so with most of these, as I won&#039;t try it unless someone verifies that it doesn&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are not good to put in acetone, right?:</p><p><br /></p><p>- Enameled</p><p>- &quot;Printed&quot; colorized coins (usually looks pixelated)</p><p>- Hologram</p><p>- Antiqued finish (? I&#039;d assume this is ok, as that&#039;s a physical change of the metal, as opposed to some type of coating...)</p><p>- Amber </p><p>- Stones (e.g. Swarovski crystal embedded ones)</p><p>- Anything else?</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe that gold, silver, etc. gilt/gilding/plating are all good to put in acetone.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
