rahtbarg Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 07/30/2015 4:59 pm Picked these up off ebay as a lot for under $20. As soon as I received them, gave them an acetone bath. Pretty pleased with the results (except there wasn't much hope for the 1900, but I'm going to let it soak a while longer). Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 07/30/2015 5:25 pm Very pleasing results. Getting that "gunky" black stuff off is always great and it even got rid of the tape glue remnants. GOOD JOB in helping save a couple more Barbers! Report this Post to the Staff

msPenny New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 07/30/2015 8:49 pm Thanks rahtbarg for the quick reply. I have some coins that look similar to yours. I've never used acetone and wasn't sure how long to soak them. Report this Post to the Staff
