Coinfanmorgan Valued Member 357 Posts	Posted 08/02/2012 10:20 pm I was wondering what silver dollar would be best for me to try a first acetone test with. I am a beginner in coin collection and most of my morgans have some polish. I was thinking of trying acetone on a 1972 Eisenhower dollar before moving onto a 1921 morgan of which I have at least half a dozen. So should I try eisenhower or 1921 morgan as my first test? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Pick what ever one you feel is worth less. If you have your doubts that you have pure acetone just pour some in a glass and let it sit some where away from open flame, preferably out side. Look at the bottom after it evaporates, shouldn't be any gunk on the bottom. Report this Post to the Staff

(Maybe some loose dirt as well.) It is NOT going to clean the coin or remove any tarnish or toning. (People keep thinking acetone works like dip and then they are upset because there isn't a great improvement in eye appeal.) Report this Post to the Staff
