Acetone on Nickel - Is it OK?
Posted: Mon Apr 23, 2012 10:54 am
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. 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
