[QUOTE="hontonai, post: 617921, member: 4703"]Big no-no #2! Cloth of any kind produces hairlines when rubbed on a coin. For really dirty coins, after an initial acetone bath (in pure stuff as stated above) swirl the coin around and transfer it briefly to a glass dish with fresh acetone. Then put it through two or more baths in fresh distilled or deionized water. As a last resort if there is caked-on dirt that won't swirl off, hold the coin by its edge under a cold water faucet, then finish with another distilled/deionized bath.[/QUOTE]
