100% pure acetone will remove any organic materials without damaging the surface of the coin.

Well, silver coins are at least worth melt, which is going to be higher than face value. While a bath in pure acetone will most likely not damage your coins, we advise against cleaning them in virtually all cases. Maybe post a pic of a couple items and we can weigh in with advice specific to your coins rather than generic advice?

Acetone isn't going to do much if anything to that coin.
Rest in Peace
