<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 7806867, member: 112&quot;]The best answer to your question, and the answer that removes ALL doubt, is extremely simple. The TPGs themselves will use any and or all - distilled water, acetone, xylene, and coin dip - on a coin and it will NOT be given the problem coin designation of &quot;cleaned&quot; on the slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, as long as you do it properly, you can use any and or all of them yourself and the coin will not be given the problem coin designation of &quot;cleaned&quot; on the slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is one caveat though. Sometimes, a coin can be properly cleaned with any of the four I mentioned above and be given the the problem coin designation. BUT - that only happens when whatever was being properly removed from the coin was covering up a harsh/improper cleaning that could not be seen until that whatever was removed.</p><p><br /></p><p>In other words, the harsh/improper cleaning was already present and it was what harmed the coin. The distilled water, acetone, xylene, coin dip did NOT harm the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>And no, that is not an opinion - it is a fact ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
