Acetone on Nickel - Is it OK?

I found a 1946 6/6 nickel last night. Is Acetone safe on .999Ni like it is on Bronze? This nickel looks pretty good expect for some spots with sticky black stuff crammed into a few crevices. Probably bong resin. :roll: I just want to see if anyone has dipped Ni in Acetone and if the result would be a good clean coin, or if I would ruin it. I was thinking of putting it on eBay, so maybe I should just polish the crap out of it instead :lol:

Not really sure but you could always try it out on some non numi nickles and see how it works.

Thanks Rode and Merch. I will give it a try on a common first before I dunk the 6/6
