However your cleaning method isn&#039;t meant for the type metal your trying to clean. Stay away from swirling your coins in a jar, you will produce wear. Just use your tongs and agitate the coin in the solution.</p><p><br /></p><p>From your description I believe you dipped a copper-nickel clad coin. There are coin dips that can be purchased online or from your local coin dealer that are designed specifically to clean silver and nickel, but &quot;Beware&quot; if you use this stuff for more then a few seconds you can permanently ruin your coin, oh, and you can&#039;t use it on copper without ruining it.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s been a lot of discussion here over the years about cleaning coins, what to do, what not to do. Do a search. I&#039;m sure you&#039;ll find some interesting info.</p><p><br /></p><p>I rarely if ever clean a coin anymore. I&#039;ve found it&#039;s better to just acquire a better MS or proof then to potentially ruin a coin just because it lacks some&nbsp; eye appeal I think I can fix with a cleaning. </p><p><br /></p><p>Good Luck and Keep on Collecting!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Allen[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
