Does acetone remove pvc? If not what will?
The coin is a walking lib.

Is the coin MS?

MS70 works better than acetone.

Acetone will do it. Dunk it in, and VERY LIGHTLY swirl a qtip over the coins surface. I've never had a problem with that method, others may cringe at the "swirling Qtip" thought though. Good luck!

I am finding Virgin Olive Oil is working well. Leave the coin soaking for a few hours to a day then gently wash under running hot water to get the oil off. I then immerse the coin in rubbing alcohol for a few minutes to remove any oil remaining.
I use a white bowl and after a few hours of soaking, I can move the coin and there will be a ring of green suspended in the oil where the coin was sitting.
These are old, circulated large cents, but it won't hurt the surface of any coin unless you leave it in way too long.

Acetone will work, but Koinsolve works faster. On coins with heavy PVC, acetone can take awhile to remove it all, Koinsolve took it off in about 15 seconds. Both seem safe to the coin itself. Hope this helps.
