Snatched Valued Member United States 106 Posts	Posted 02/15/2015 12:15 am It's starting to turn silver and purple? I hope I got the right acetone. There's copper flakes floating or some kind of glitter the rim is turning into a silver color. Report this Post to the Staff
kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 02/15/2015 01:17 am I'm not sure how long to leave it in, but I think your only supposed to soak for an hour or 2. I've never used the stuff before. Just watched on t.v. shows. Like the curse of oak island. Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 02/15/2015 12:49 pm Just a short soak - say 20 minutes - should loosen stuff -- and then you may need to repeat with fresh/clean acetone. It sounds like stuff is coming off already so apparently something was stuck on that coin. People do weird stuff to coins. Go figure. Report this Post to the Staff

Snatched Valued Member United States 106 Posts	Posted 02/15/2015 1:58 pm This penny turned purple/black the rim was silver but when I took it out after drying it turned orange. Lot of flakes or glitter in the acetone, it looks deface. I will show pictures when I get home. The word liberty is now flat. No more cracks just lines the look copper, all the letters and numbers still look copper but the background is black/dark purple. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 02/15/2015 6:28 pm Sounds like it was covered in something -- glue or whatever. Don't know why it changed color. It's a puzzle. But a fun one. Report this Post to the Staff
