<p>[QUOTE="NathansCoin, post: 181309, member: 6761"]I have a steam cleaner, Never took it to any of my coins. But DEPENDING on what type of coin, what type of substance or the metal its made of, as well as depending on how dirty the coin is would be the main factor in useing a steamer to clean it. Something like a Morgan with PVC wouldbe safe to clean tis way i would think. But a copper or brass type coin might not be a good idea. Distilled water or not. AGE is also anoter factor ad yet ofcourse proper drying. I think i would only use a steamer on something like a silver 0r gold coin that was unearthed or has PVC or or some sorta of oil on it. But with that said. I wold think that it would be a bad way of removing polish. I myself might polish a junk coin and steam it to see what happens. Most polish is of a oil base. So i think it might ot be a bad thing to try. Again this is one of thos things that needs to be done with great care IMO. Good luck with that idea and please post pics after you get out. Like I said i might TEST that out just t osee what happens. I WOULD like to state i dont se eaygood coming from this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Natesdad[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
