mdrosophila Pillar of the Community United States 724 Posts	Posted 04/09/2014 2:51 pm An update. I cracked open the set and removed hair without any trouble. BUT the long hair has already left two contact mark an inch long each on the Kennedy half dollar. I do not know whether the marks are permanent or whether a trip to acetone will do any good.

keepcalmandcoinon Pillar of the Community United States 865 Posts	Posted 04/09/2014 3:54 pm I would just leave it. If the hair had any chemicals in it (hair color, bleach, a perm) putting it in acetone could create a chemical reaction on the coin and cause even more damage. Report this Post to the Staff
mdrosophila Pillar of the Community United States 724 Posts	Posted 04/09/2014 10:08 pm Two additional hairlines developed after acetone rinse. I guess this is the chemical residue left over from the hair. I would speculate that these hairlines will happen anyway over time if the chemical is left along on the coin. In conclusion acetone bath does not work. Report this Post to the Staff

mdrosophila Pillar of the Community United States 724 Posts	Posted 04/10/2014 12:57 pm I doubt that Mr. Kennedy would use nasty chemical on his hair. Most likely a dyed hair from someone. Report this Post to the Staff
