Acetone Mishap On Copper Coins

Another note, gasoline can also melt Styrofoam.

I used a Pyrex covered dish with a paper towel folded into quarters a few times I suppose to slow evaporation I could have put another paper under the lid for a bit of a seal.
Using a flat bottom and fairly large dish made it easier to get to the coins.

If your doing this for coins, your just wasting time. As I mentioned I have some coins in a jar with Acetone for weeks now. Still there and absolutely no difference after the first few minutes. I don't need them so might just leave them there for a few years.

I've read silly stuff like that previously and maybe even that one. Way, way back I thought there was a possibility that for some odd reason it would be possible. I placed several coins, pennies, Nickels, Dimes and a Quarter in a jar of Acetone. For one day that jar sat on the inside of my garage window sill. I then moved it to the outside of that same window sill, but it was only in the Sun for a few hours. I then moved that same jar directly into the Sun, on a picnic table where it sat for the entire day. After several days of this and absolutely nothing, I removed the coins. There was nothing in the way of anything to any of the coins except the Roosevelt dime did appear a little cleaner. None of the Pennies (cents) vanished, corroded, tarnished, rusted, etc. They just looked the same as when I put them in.
Of course I would really need to place such a jar on a rocket ship, shoot out into space, move into an orbit around the Sun, exposing these coins. Then possibly something would happen.

One more thing is to be carefull of internet articles and stories where they want you to pay for additional information. If you noted on the one you mentioned, they want $31.50 for details. They discuss Ambient Light whatever that is supposed to be. And Water Vapor, not just water, moisture, ice cubes in a Martini.
I presently have about 10 pennies in a jar of Acetone. I'll move them out into the Sun for a few weeks as soon as the rain stops here.

I am well aware that it is not one of the many scam or misinformed sites. That is why when I first read that one I experimented for a long, long time with Acetone with every denomination of coins in continuous variations of light, temperatures and humidity ranges.
None of my experiments with any Copper coins of any years or wear have shown any signs of anything in the way of corroding, evaporating, toning, tarnishing, vanishing, changing, etc.
I still have about 10 Cents in a jar of Acetone now sitting on my picnic table in the Sun. Now going on a few weeks of shade, Sun, high humidity and still nothing.
I now suspect I'm using the wrong Sun.
Sure wish they would all change into Dimes or Quarters.

Actually I did take some photos of a well damaged large cent someone gave me. It was dark, dirty, had some corrosion on it too. It was put into Acetone for a few days, then water was added and put into the
Sunlight. Since not much ever happened, I then tried Laquer thinner, baking soda and water and now in Olive Oil. So far it basically still looks the same. I'll take some more photos after it soaks for a while more.
