    In my limited experience I have used acetone very sparingly and very carefully, but never on proof coins - and I have never found that it removes fingerprints - they (fingerprints) are pretty much there to stay I think. I just nowadays try to avoid them in the first place, although, like many, I have made mistakes in the past

    Yes, famous quote by husband Johnny from back in the day

    Very nice Raul, is the denomination (2 Reals) specified somewhere on the coin? Are you aware that in the UK, in the 1790's, we over-stamped Spanish (or Spanish South American) 8 (and 4) Real coins and used them as crowns (5 shillings)?
