Even cheap coins need love

So I bought some inexpensive coins off eBay that have virtually no value in collecting, but to me hold sentimental value as they are from places I have travelled in the military.

 

The coins purchased are uncirculated but the guy taped them to some cardboard for shipping. Wow was I disappointed...I know they are virtually worthless, but I want even my worthless coins to be of high quality. I am waiting for his response to see if he can replace them or if I just need to do a return...postage will cost about the value of the coins.

Acetone?

Is acetone safe on all metals, I have never used it before so not familiar...but certainly worth a try.

Acetone is safe on all copper, nickel, iron, steel, silver, gold, or alloys of these.

 

Absolutely do not under any circumstance use acetone on aluminum coins. They will develop an unpleasant spottiness and will pretty much ruin them. That's pretty much the only restriction on acetone.
