<p>[QUOTE="CheetahCats, post: 996670, member: 23874"]I believe it really depends on the specimen. IMO most silver specimens don't require any additional cleaning than a good dip in distilled water. Copper of course, I wouldn't recommend cleaning beyond distilled water and oil. Maybe acetone - but other folks urge against using that as well. There have been plenty of ground find copper specimens that at face look like crap, but still command a huge premium. The 1785/1786 Vermont Landscape variety, for instance, commands a premium regardless. A chain cent would be another example.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
