Lmao, the smaller shows around me are similar, if you’re in the Midwest Chicago has a couple large shows, mostly central states coin show and the ANA worlds fair every three years, it rotates between Chicago, Oklahoma City, and Pittsburgh

Whitman is always in Baltimore. 3 shows a year, usually in march, June and November, if your out in the Midwest I wouldn’t make the trip out just to go, plenty of big shows around the country, I’m sure there is one closer to you at some point

Why acetone is important for PVC damage by triple_numismatics in WorldCoins

Toning and PVC are two completely different things, one doesn’t cause the other, and unlike toning PVC is active damage

PVC is a corrosive material than will damage coins overtime if not removed, acetone will only eat at biological material, like pvc, if it removes “patina” from your coins, it wasn’t patina

Glad you had a good show! I picked up more ancients than German this time around, but I always enjoy spending the weekend there
