I tried acetone to remove it, but it wont come off. Even with a Qtip it wont rub off. I dont think the coin is too far gone, or is it? HOW DO I GET IT OFF?! Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 06/13/2012 11:08 pm Acetone should completely remove PVC. Make sure you have good-quality acetone (should leave zero residue when you let some evaporate from a glass). Try a longer soak. You can gently poke at the spots with a toothpick but don't rub. If the surface has been corroded by PVC action it can't be fixed. One more option would be BadThad's Verdi-Care product. It is generally used on copper but is perfectly safe for silver.
