Nothing to do on a snow day. Conserve.

I bought this lot because of the Peace. $23.50 for the lot all included..20 bucks for a 26 Peace and some medals I know nothing about.





I soaked in acetone mineral spirited mix and rinsed, then a E zest bath.. For way to long.. But it at least looks like a Peace dollar now.

Impressive transformation and neat score. Some of the medals look nice also.

Great job bringing that dollar back to life.

I wonder about the mineral spirits. We use them at work.
I am not trying to zing you but why not use straight acetone. I would be afraid the mineral spirits would leave some residue.
Im saying this for your benefit.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to go check on some stuff on the topic here. Good idea 💡

I appreciate it.
I found this when I was doing some cleanup and tried it on some really crusty coins and it seemed to take a lot of it off.
I wouldn't use it on anything I was trying to get graded. I do spend a good amount of time rinsing.

@Elvis1 I cannot offer alot of advice on many things on this board but on this I can. Do yourself a favor and get some straight acetone. Mineral spirits will leave residue where acetone will not. We cant be sure what will happen as time passes.

I'll do that. Thank you.

When the snow melts of course.

I like using acetone at times as well
