Good day CCF friends. I recently made the post of my 1995
DDO from crh'ing. I also had purchased the day before, 100% pure acetone as I had never bothered to bath my coins before. I put my coin in a clean glass jar, covered, rotated, for 3 days as it had sticky gunk on it with a touch of loose zinc debris. I also tried the bath with 6 other coins separately, in a clean jar, fresh acetone. The acetone did not do a thing, except perhaps seal future zinc leaching. I do not scrub, scratch or use any other technique except a water rinse all these years, this also includes my detecting coins. I've read all the acetone threads, suggestions and have experimented, with zero results. I would rather not use verdicare or any other chemical component. I would like to preserve my
DDO'S and get the gunk off. Any assistance would greatly be appreciated as I am a tad frustrated. Thank you so much. ~Charlie
