<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gavin Richardson, post: 2610778, member: 83956&quot;]I don&#039;t have any experience with acetone. There are different schools of thought about the best way to clean ancient bronze coins. This may not be the proper thread for a lengthy post on the matter. I am fairly new to this board, so perhaps others can point to a thread in which this matter has been covered in detail. For now, let me just say that most opt for a conservative approach to cleaning ancient bronze coins so as to not damage the patina of the coin. For me, this means soaking the coin in olive oil or distilled water for several days and then brushing the coin after periodic soaks.
