Great start to your collection. Personally, I wouldn't even give them an acetone soak.

What a great set! From a V nick affeccianaddo, nice!  wish mine were as nice. Was fortunate to recently pick up the 86 & 12D in AG/Gs for less than $225, just couldn't spring for the 85, it went for 150 more!  Acetone won't hurt, may take off any mold/moisture associated crud. Just don't scrub em! |

That's a nice stash! And I agree with Crazyb0 -- acetone can't hurt.

As Crazyb0 says, acetone won't hurt, all it can do is help.
Most of the time when I receive a coin, I soak it in acetone
for a couple of days before storing.
Sometimes you will be surprised at the change in appearance.

Nice coins. I wonder where a kid of that age got all those.

Nice coins. I wonder where a kid of that age got all those. My dad started me off to the hobby by getting me a starter lot and a Whitman folder when I was really young. I did lots of chores for money (over pages for sure), which went into the few nicer coins purchased at coin shows in Poughkeepsie, NY. A few were birthday presents. My dad was great. He didn't even collect coins. When I went away to boarding school they were put away and stayed there until this weekend. I will always have a soft spot for V nickels. FYI - The cost of a XF 1883 w/c in 1977 was around $17. Why the huge leap in value over the last few years? Edited by Wizardnyc

PVC residue impacts - slime on most coins. Soaking right now. Some appear to be damaged. 30 plus years in a soft flip. Also,
last coin was purchased in 1979..still have receipt!
