grovey Valued Member United States 440 Posts	Posted 06/25/2006 7:53 pm I picked up these four coins at the local show Sunday... I believe this is a cameo, He is getting a bath and hopefully the haze and spots will be gone. Next is a 1960 ms63 Franklin, Has a small hit on his cheek but does have FBL Then I found 2 nice bu/unc lincolns for my whitman folder. I wish I get could get the "pop" in the reverse to show up better in the picture. Edited by grovey 06/26/2006 1:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

grovey Valued Member United States 440 Posts	Posted 06/26/2006 08:01 am I have a freind that is great with giving proofs a quick acetone bath.You have to be very careful. Too long and they look bad.He has done a frw for me and they have come out wonderful.In fact this one looked almost like it when I picked it out of $8.00 proof set and then it came back like this.

thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 06/26/2006 4:36 pm Wouldn't a "bath" reduce it's value? Report this Post to the Staff

Since it an organic solvent with a low flash point(evaporates quickly with no residue), it doesn't alter the metal in any way or leave any traces behind. Acetone will remove finger grease and things like that. Report this Post to the Staff
thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 06/26/2006 5:06 pm Very interesting. Thanks for info Biokemist. By the way does acetone work on all coins Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 06/26/2006 5:16 pm It will work well on gold and silver. I am not sure about nickel and I believe that it can darken copper. Report this Post to the Staff
