I put in in acetone last night and added about 6 drops of bleach in 6 oz of acetone and look at this ! http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b...centsob2.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b...ebathobv.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b...entsrev2.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b...ebathrev.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

Since all of that stuff came off in acetone, I'll hazard a guess that it was PVC. The surface doesn't look like it suffered very much from the acetone either, which kind of surprises me. I'm glad it all came off. Report this Post to the Staff

ageka Pillar of the Community Belgium 2078 Posts	Posted 08/18/2005 04:56 am Very nice result Only beware of doing this to coins with hairlines or scratches or bagmarks because after the treatment they will look like having knifeslashes as deep as the grand canyon The bleach oxidised the organic material which in turn then could be more easily dissolved in the acetone Report this Post to the Staff
ageka Pillar of the Community Belgium 2078 Posts	Posted 08/18/2005 05:11 am If you want to experiment Acetone can do no damage to metal because it is a solvent and it cannot dissolve metals ( This does not mean the coin will look better afterwards ! ) Acetone will however damage the surface of your fridge if you use it to clean off water resistant marker ink because it tries to dissolve the paint or plastic of any appliance or the platisizer from PVC etc or grease from your fingers if you put your fingers in it they will go white drying and be bone dry for some time (not a good idea ) Report this Post to the Staff
