Glad it worked out for you. I bought a nice Liberty nickel the other day for half of what it should sell for because it had PVC on it. I simply put it in acetone and sure enough the PVC is gone and my coin doubled in value! |

See all the green up near the denticles? That wasn't there before, and I know where it came from. I didn't rinse this coin before shooting it. Did you give it a flowing rinse with fresh acetone before you let it dry? |

Nice conservation Dave!  Quote:
quite possibly the only liquid more dangerous than acetone is nitroglycerin.
Ahhhh...that's not even close to being true. You're blowing that WAY out of proportion. Other than flammability, acetone is a very safe solvent. Your body even natually produces acetone.

I did not even notice the top of the "thunder box". I was too distracted by the blue "Coca-Cola" (?) glass.

Great results Dave and thanks for the step by step. I've only tried acetone a couple of times and it evaporated so quickly. OK, I learned something!  Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win". Dream On by Aerosmith |

Excellent results. I know we do not do stickies. But if we did, this would qualify.  |

Nice save. That's a great looking coin and very educational.

But wait. What's that spot by the you in UNUM? I believe that was actually the "PLURIBUS" variety of green spotting...but I'm sure it would have worked on UNUM as well...had the spot been there...  |

Is there a squeeze bottle that will work with acetone? I'll bet a pinpoint spray would remove loose stuff.

Yes there are some lab type squeeze bottles that will work.

Well, I'm not done yet. After the scare on the obverse, I started looking at the coin under significant magnification, and I've found little spots all over it. Still. This is worse than I thought.
