Error-Eric New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 04/13/2025 6:24 pm Is there a too long in acetone? Like a hour? I got it. I used that great tool on top called search keez Edited by Error-Eric 04/13/2025 8:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 04/13/2025 7:43 pm to the CCF No. Acetone will not affect the coin in any way. I've left them in for over 24 hrs. before. Looks like Pareidolia. Report this Post to the Staff

Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 04/14/2025 5:06 pm Worth mentioning Pareidolia here, again. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 04/15/2025 6:04 pm Sometimes there is no way to remove stains from coins. If acetone doesn't do it, maybe water will. If that doesn't do it, I'd just chalk it up to Pareidolia. There is just no way that a 1974 quarter can be muled with a dime that was minted 30 years earlier. Report this Post to the Staff

halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1368 Posts	Posted 04/15/2025 7:09 pm Not to beat a dead horse, but a weight would be useful here — should be about 5.7 grams for a 1974 quarter. Report this Post to the Staff
Error-Eric New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 04/15/2025 11:28 pm It's 6. But I gave into what I heard about it being my eyes and tried a harsher cleaner and a big chunk of it can off. Kinda ticked at myself for doubting myself. Report this Post to the Staff

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1564 Posts	Posted 04/16/2025 04:01 am If a chunk came off, then it was plated or coated with something. I don't think you did any harm. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 70282 Posts	Posted 04/16/2025 08:50 am agreed, you probably just loosened up the possible plating that was added to the coin after it led the mint.
