<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2827866, member: 1892&quot;]Acetone&#039;s an organic solvent, and will only remove organic deposits from a coin. It&#039;s chemically incapable of affecting silver reaction-based toning; simply can&#039;t do it. The problem, sometimes, is determining which is which, complicated by the fact that there&#039;s crud which could accrue onto a coin which isn&#039;t organic. </p><p><br /></p><p>As if that weren&#039;t enough, one then has to decide whether the successfully-treated coin would be an improvement, or not; irregular patches of removed coverage will then become irregular patches of cleaned-looking areas. For instance, if we propose that the stripes on your Buff are something which acetone could remove completely, the result would be a coin where those areas had become brighter than the surrounding nickel, which has acquired some patina that the acetone wouldn&#039;t touch. </p><p><br /></p><p>Still striped, just less realistically now. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
