Wouldn't the acetone vapor eventually attack that? Yes, depending on on the material used for it. (I wasn't gonna go there, but since you brought it up ...) But you care about the coin. So check occasionally whether anything looks off. If you don't want to be bothered with checking it, then your options are: glass, ceramic, metal, PP, HDPE. |

You could try a science catalog for all glass instruments. Can't remember the name right now but I think one was called science surplus or something like that. Those places have many all glass item and some are Pyrex. Try https://www.sciplus.com/Edited by just carl

Just watch out - vodka and acetone look exactly alike in a shot glass! Good thing I am a teetotaler.  |

Doesn't the jar lid have some sort of rubber or soft plastic seal? Wouldn't the acetone vapor eventually attack that? It might eventually, but if the jar is upright it shouldn't contaminate the acetone, and when the jar seals become problematic just replace the jar. |

Don't forget about aluminum foil as a cap/lid for a glass, ceramic or plastic container, if you are using short soak times.

You can buy glass jars with Teflon lined screw caps. Those are the best. I would be concerned about other liners and how they are attached to the cap.

I recently bought a small glass jar with a metal screw on cap at a thrift store . $0.49 with my vets discount . So far so good . |
