i have some silver dirhams that i suspect have pvc residue on them. they're a bit sticky to the touch, but otherwise i can't see anything unusual about them. they were in pvc flips before, but i have removed them. is acetone good to use to remove the residue, and how long should i soak it?

yea, agreed. i'm not really good at reading arabic, so i dont understand that much. i do wish there were more iconography on islamic coins. i know early umayyad, ayyubid, artuqid, and seljuk coins have icons on them but it's not that common. this coin i got a while back is an umayyad pre reform coin, imitating the byzantine nummus Time of 'Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan AD 685-705. AH 65-86. Hims, Fals Æ 21 mm., 3,66 g.
