[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2827889, member: 112"]It's a fairly short list. PVC residue, tape residue, fresh (and only fresh ones) fingerpints, fingernail polish, and some types of paint. That's really about it. Now yes, there could be other things on a coin that a rinse in acetone might wash them off, but then so would a rinse in distilled water. My point here being that a rinse in any liquid would wash them off. Not that you should use just any liquid. What people need to learn and understand is that different types of solvents work better on different types of things. There's basically 4 liquids that are safe to use on coins, assuming they are used properly. They are: 1 - distilled water 2 - acetone 3 - xylene 4 - con dip And each one of them removes different things from coins better than the other 3. Other than those, you shouldn't even try to use it.[/QUOTE]
