Here's an IHC that didn't respond completely to an acetone soak.
I boiled it in a pot of distilled water with a few drops of Dawn dish soap to soften the stubborn dirt in the nooks and crannies, and then returned it to the acetone, working carefully with just the tip of a cotton swab.
Highly effective! Better than picking away at it with a toothpick, or a porcupine quill IMO.

And I could have gone another round, but, it's a 2-dollar coin! The Smithsonian politely declined.
