Just in case the value of the coin might affect your decision to try dipping or not - this is not an inexpensive item - it is currently for sale on ma-shops for 1500 euros = US$2,193.61.

I like the coin just the way it is.

I do not know first-hand what the effects of 'dipping' in acetone would be as I have no experience of it. As the coin is, it seems to be quite good so it depends on the risk factors as this is a very nice coin.

That coin has earned it's skin. I do not see anything on it that appears that it would continue to damage the surfaces so why mess with it. Leave her be.

There is a slight fingerprint but I wouldn't dip it. I quite like the way its toned.

I think this coin has beautiful eye appeal to me so anything but acetone (like e-Zest or other products that can ruin the coin if not done properly) I would have to say absolutely not

Don't dip it in ANYTHING. The coin looks great as it is. If you do not like it as it is.....I will have it....lol  |

I'm worried that the fingerprint on the obverse will eventually become more noticeable. I'd do a 30 second acetone dip, but nothing more.

I bought 2 coins I knew to be cleaned
now I am sorry
I can't sell them and they are too valuable to give as gifts.
If they would have been left alone
they would have been fine.

It is a handsome coin. Should be left as is.

Isn't coming up for me either, but I think the forum is glitching right now?
Everything seems to be running a little slowly...

Sorry my bad. I linked to the seller's picture and it appears that the seller took down his picture.
He must have sold it. It was a beauty. I want to own a Gothic crown like that someday.
