okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5595 Posts	Posted 07/26/2018 05:30 am The best container for an acetone soak is the very small jars of sliced pimentos, and they have a good sealing lid. They are about 1 1/2" tall and about 2" OD. Every Canadian coin, through nickel or silver dollars fits and you don't use up much acetone to allow a soak. Report this Post to the Staff
ahaba Valued Member Canada 58 Posts	Posted 07/26/2018 9:10 pm Thanks for that tip. I have never eaten or even seen a pimento in my whole life. :) I used an old pill bottle. Report this Post to the Staff

ahaba Valued Member Canada 58 Posts	Posted 07/27/2018 08:34 am I guess I am just not up on the good things in food. I don't think I have ever eaten an olive (or a pasta salad!). Report this Post to the Staff
ahaba Valued Member Canada 58 Posts	Posted 07/27/2018 7:12 pm Well, the coin has been soaking for the last two days and I don't see any visible improvement. Report this Post to the Staff
ahaba Valued Member Canada 58 Posts	Posted 07/28/2018 7:45 pm Here is the final result after about four days of soaking. A little better than the previous effort and worlds better than the starting point. Reverse side is unchanged from original photo.Grading opinions again please.
