xd99xd Valued Member Canada 174 Posts	Posted 04/17/2015 7:46 pm Is it safe to use acetone on chrome plated nickels. I'masking because I heard that the chrome plating isn't the strongest And comes off easily. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

xd99xd Valued Member Canada 174 Posts	Posted 04/21/2015 10:33 pm So what is the reason you dont like the results. I checked on mine today to flip it looks like chrome. The bule is alot less noticable and its just alot more nicer looking. Although It makes the the worn chrome alot more noticable Report this Post to the Staff

xd99xd Valued Member Canada 174 Posts	Posted 04/22/2015 12:06 am Oh ok, thats understandable. I'mlooking at my before pictures and the after looks like a different coin. I'mmost probably going to post before and after photos. Report this Post to the Staff
