DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9865 Posts	Posted 03/02/2013 1:51 pm Be careful with acetone for high grade red cents. Won't harm your coin.Go for it. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
pocket change 50 Pillar of the Community Canada 1751 Posts	Posted 03/03/2013 08:57 am Will acetone work on Pre '67 coins; or is it considered cleaning? What is an acetone bath? I also have some '70's /'60's coins from roll hunting with dirt on them. Will an acetone bath clean the specs of dirt? Rox Report this Post to the Staff
Raligard Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 03/03/2013 10:49 pm I would toss it in a small pool of acetone until the glue dissolves, and then rinse it in fresh acetone before sealing in a holder. Report this Post to the Staff

As for the dirt, I would have to say unlikely. Acetone dissolves organic materials, such as oils, green slime, plastics, glues, etc, but will not have any effect on dirt and grime such as soils and the like.
