I have had these in acetone for 3 days.
The "Slime" has gone But you can see where it was :dash1:
These plastic Mint folders are death to coins.

Too late now but remove them anyway to prevent further deterioration.

Remove the coins, and seal both the packaging and the coins in separate bags. Don't throw the original packaging out.
