just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 01/19/2015 09:28 am Why bother to purchase something you don't need. If you want to use Acetone, just use a clean glass. Or glass jar, cup, etc. Why buy something that will just sit around 90% or more of the time. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19957 Posts	Posted 01/19/2015 10:08 am NONE! Acetone is extremely flammable and should never be used in a sonicator. Also, in general, sonicators should not be used with coins except with extremely encrusted examples. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 01/19/2015 5:18 pm thanks for the help guys, I'm only thinking about getting one because I have a nasty old waxy 1859 cent that I think could be the rare brass planchet, its been in acetone for weeks now and I cant get anything off of it. its so caked in dirt, pvc and other stuff that the crud is as high as the letters so you cant read much.
