Kyra Pillar of the Community United States 867 Posts	Posted 12/09/2006 2:27 pm I tried acetone on some common date cents to see if it would take some black spots off. Got mixed results, some spots came off, some spots stayed. Probably won't try it again! Rachel Report this Post to the Staff

Rachel Acetone is a solvent More specific a solvent for non water soluble chemicals and for inks In that respect it is identiacal to H2O which you call water and will solve watersoluble stains like coffee and wine I allways have at least two litres of acetone at hand Report this Post to the Staff

I found some late roman coins with my detector in the past, and I only could tell that it where roman coins After I got a lot of oxidation of it, so..... Yes, some time's it's to be needed to do, but if posibble.. DON'T!! Report this Post to the Staff
