Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6495 Posts	Posted 12/01/2025 11:12 am Well, this coin is still in the acetone, still with the surface haze, waiting on the next move. In researching proof Kennedy half dollars with collar clashes, I turned up only one other legit example (a 2000-S on Reddit), so I really don't want to foul up this error coin. I have 91% isopropyl alcohol from a pharmacy. Are there concerns that it might contain contaminants or additives? If anything will show a problem, it would be a proof coin surface. Maybe xylene is a safer bet? Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95550 Posts	Posted 12/01/2025 1:03 pm From what I can find there is 91% isopropyl alcohol with the remainder ingredients being 'purified water'.

jbuck Moderator United States 188213 Posts	Posted 12/01/2025 2:42 pm I agree. It should be fine, but you can test it. Place some in a really clean glass bowl and let it evaporate. If there is no residue on the glass, all is good.
