Enceladus New Member Canada 3 Posts	Posted 01/28/2025 7:25 pm I attempted to clean some PVC using rubbing alcohol (95% ethanol), and some reactions occurred, as you can see from these attachments. I'm trying to figure out if it's actually a 'white spot,' since I've never heard of ethanol reacting with silver. I know it's dumb to clean any coin, but is there still a way to restore it? Thanks for any reply! It's my first post and I apologize if there is any violation of the rules. Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9700 Posts	Posted 01/29/2025 2:07 pm The coin is beyond restoration. Beneath some of those spots the PVC has pitted the surface. At this point the best you can do is an acetone bath. Any other procedure would be purely for experimental value, the cost of e z est cleaner on Amazon is more than the value of the coin. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

Enceladus New Member Canada 3 Posts	Posted 01/29/2025 8:17 pm Thank you all for your advice. Take it easy, this is just for experimental purposes. Report this Post to the Staff

Experiments are fun and if the coin is beyond hope, it can at least serve this purpose.
