Thanks. I only have a few that are in horrible shape. So I was just curious to see how shiny I can get them. They are pretty well dented up as well. Basically, nearly everything that can be wrong with a coin, is wrong with these coins.
I probably will just try it the the worst one I have and that's it. I paid nothing for it.
For the acetone, I was reading some posts on here, not necessarily where a copper coin could be damaged by it, but could "potentially" have the color altered. Then I was also reading other posts where it was stated there would be no problems.
On another note, I have found 3 decent looking IH during my CRHs. 1900, 1905, 1908. along with 14 in the teens and 1955 S that looks brand new. (not in the same box of course) Probably in about $1200 worth of pennies.
I started originally about a year ago, but stopped. I just started up again. My fiance thinks I'm nuts. I'm selling the 59-82's on ebay, for lack of a better outlet. The return isn't great, but it pays for everything I keep + some extra spending $$$.
I have another $400 worth of pennies to pick up Friday or Sat and my first $500 box of half dollars.
The good part is I've actually got a number of banks I'm using between my dump banks and my pick up banks and at each one, there isn't a single person doing a CRHing. Hopefully, that helps my chances with the half dollars a bit.
