    Using acetone to clean coins

    I have read this forum almost daily for three years.. When i gave an opinion that is what it was. If i spilt red wine on the carpet ,yes i would clean it .....i am not some kind of tramp. I dont ....atleast most of the time spill red wine on coins ,so dont have to clean them. Months ago i would of agreed with you but no longer. Do you see any results from coins you put acetone on ten years ago You carry on using it.........i wont. Your statement of complete and utter rubbish i dont consider to be fair and just your opinion. You keep cleaning them ,which is what your doing........and i will look after the carpet Pete.

    Using acetone to clean coins

    Jerry ,just my little bit and only my opinion. Acetone leaves a chemical residue that is there and that i have no doubt. When i mentioned water it was a bad example i.e. distilled water gently over the slight marks within any high points on only low grade coins. ACETONE should not be used at all ,and WILL SHOW ....If its an expensive coin leave Acetone well alone. Pete.

    Using acetone to clean coins

    Everyone to there own and would like to say..... If you put a chemical on a coin(not a toothpick,flick something off) then why do it. It is done to enhance a coin from its natural state. I can only comment on pennies(not hammered etc.) this is IMO cleaning ,else why do it ?. The Chemical is applied to do a job clean it and the Chemical is left and will not disperse and (of which it was only applied for) will still show. If you put water on a coin it will dull the tone /lustre but not show over time and can understand ,if you put acetone,acid,any cleaning agent .....Then its CLEANED If the buyer/seller are both happy then as always it does not matter This is only my opinion ...... If a coin is ok acetone would not of been put on in the first place ,but will still show. Never dip a valuable coin in ACETONE. Pete.

    Using acetone to clean coins

    Think you mentioned an important issue ,they are now cleaned. I think unless really low grade and varieties you want to keep most are better left alone.

    More Pennies

    Sorry Prax just noticed you had weighed it ,really interested and forgot your original post.
  16. PWA 1967

    More Pennies

    Yes thats what made me think when one sold on ebay it was tooled Richard.
  17. PWA 1967

    More Pennies

    Is yours the same diameter please Richard. Also Prax have you weighed it mate ?. The diameter ,weight and composition are surely the attribution. I still think looking at the edge its copper,but the coin is bronze .....which would make me assume its not right ?. Unless a coin was struck on a blank around the same time with the same weight..........but i cant think or know of one. Not another mention i can find anywere makes note of a sample or any pattern of this year. I am not the expert and find really interesting but have doubts. Pete.

    The edge looks copper ,but the coin looks possibly cleaned bronze. Might be well off the mark but still an interesting coin. Pete
