<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1082911, member: 19065&quot;]Everyone who mentioned &quot;soap&quot; to clean the coin should have their mouths washed out with it... NEVER clean a coin with soap. Soap is filled with chemicals that can linger on the coin, even after rinsing and do its own damage to the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>If anything is to be done to the coin at home, soak and rinse the coin in *distilled water* only. Air dry in an upright position. </p><p><br /></p><p><i>Do not use tap water</i>, tap water differs from location to location and is not pure.</p><p><br /></p><p>Acetone, as described countless times in forum threads which anyone can search for and read themselves, is the next and only &#039;cleaning&#039; agent that should be used, if at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Look for the cleaning process written about in CT threads by GDJMSP, often described in detail, using a series of acetone baths and distilled water. Follow the process strictly.</p><p><br /></p><p>Plan to take photos before, during and after the process so you can share your results.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
