    Using acetone to clean coins

    No idea if it was cleaned prior to me getting hold of it. Could it be the way I photographed it with a mobile phone and fluorescent lighting? When I tried the acetone I did not dip it just dabbed it with a q tip. Did not get any dirt off with it, the coin looks exactly the same as before I tried the acetone.

    Yes it is a pretty coin (thats probably not a correct term to use) I especially like the head of Victoria on the other side. I will certainly be collecting more of them.It is a pity about the fingerprint, now I know its there its annoying me but i will just put it down to experience and look for better examples. Thank you everyone for your advice on my first posting.

    I do have a picture, but cannot figure out how to paste it onto the page. Looks like I need to create a URL? Do you know if there is a guide somewhere on the site that tells me how to do it?

    Using acetone to clean coins

    Hi All My first post and new to coin collecting. I have a 1856 half penny that has what looks like a fingerprint on the reverse. I have tried acetone but no no joy in removing it. Any help or advice on getting rid of it would be appreciated.
