 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.

Beats me. But the dime is starting to come clear now along with the the torch on back. That is a torch ax right?

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.

Here's what I don't get. It tests silver with my test acid and stone.

Not to beat a dead horse, but a weight would be useful here — should be about 5.7 grams for a 1974 quarter.

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.

If a chunk came off, then it was plated or coated with something. I don't think you did any harm.

agreed, you probably just loosened up the possible plating that was added to the coin after it led the mint.
