ratio411 Pillar of the Community United States 1208 Posts	Posted 05/17/2008 11:28 am New territory for me, but when I use acetone at my shop, it leaves a light film when left to dry on it's own. Might just be the surfaces that I clean with the acetone, but could be the metal type too. I would just be very cautious with the surfaces of a proof coin especially. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/17/2008 8:13 pm ratio411, you can test to see if the acetone is causing the film or if it is just the surface of the material by pouring a bit of acetone into a clean clear glass dish and let it evaporate. Pure acetone will not leave a residue. Report this Post to the Staff

hockingzig Pillar of the Community United States 1450 Posts	Posted 05/19/2008 9:23 pm It is presently in a mylar 2x2 but I am willing to upgrade to an airtite if someone can explain what it looks like and where I can get one. No coin shops locally so I need to order these(unless someplace like Hobby Lobby would carry them!). Report this Post to the Staff
Terror Of Zanarkand Valued Member United States 317 Posts	Posted 05/19/2008 11:00 pm yep, definitely a proof, and a good find! I love circulated proofs. I actually found a 2000 S dime today at work. Report this Post to the Staff

There are many other good plastic holders on the market also, one is Kointainer. Good Luck! ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
