    After the acetone bath I do rinse my coins... I have a reverse osmosis water filter system (Mainly for my birds) and I use water from there then dab 'em dry!!!

      Is hydrogen peroxide good for anything other than dug coins? They will be "details" anyway because of the pitting, verdi and dirt. But HP does help make them readable and much more presentable (than seeing the dirt encrustation). Thanks for any insight.

        I picked up a can of "Goof-Off" (100% Xylene) at Walmart for about $3.50 and gave it a trial. It helped a little, but I'm not convinced that it helps that much, yet. Does anybody have any ideas on proper usage of Xylene to dip copper Lincolns and silver Roosevelts?

          Guys there are two posts above this one that need answers.
          So that is what Xylene is! I am familiar with Goof Off and it does stink. My Maint Tech used it to remove paint from cabinet doors and he almost passed out. I got woozy just walking in the kitchen to check on things and had to get him to walk outside!
