Interesting experiment Carl. I've used it on a lot of coins to conserve them for long-term storage with no problem. The only coin that changed was a Lincoln Cent I posted on these forums from ebay nancye913. It was darkened with something, the acetone removed it and the REAL coin was revealed. I learned a lesson, if the color looks unnatural in the pics, it probably is!

It sounds like you liberated all the same lab supplies from your employer that I did. I sense a similar chemist.

To someone's question, acetone is relatively safe, too. If you breathe too much it could make you sick, and something barely like drunk. It dries out the skin real bad (for the same reason it will partially remove fingerprints, depending on how long you soak).

What? You don't own any power-free gloves? They help reduce global warming!
