<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sundance79, post: 3248435, member: 84413&quot;]I have used both acetone and xylene on silver coins. It can be used on gold (but I never have) and nickel. But NEVER on copper or brass, or bronze. I have had great sucess with both. But don&#039;t expect to it do miracles. I had a well circulated Walker&nbsp; that had some black spots on it&nbsp; (they sort of looked like paint). They all looked the same. Acetone got rid of some. Then I tried 24 hours in xylene which got rid of a couple others. But between the two dips there were still some spots. The down side was that with each spot that was removed left a bright sport. Oh well.&nbsp; But the treatment didn&#039;t touch any of the orginial circulated toning on the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>I get a lot of junk silver that often has &#039;who knows what&#039; on them. Grease, grim, crude, whatever. The acetone does a great job of getting rid of that &#039;stuff&#039; without effecting the coin or giving it any sort of &#039;cleaned&#039; look.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
