[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 7829130, member: 112"][USER=19765]@fretboard[/USER] That IS the question. Maybe asking - what do you want to do, what is your goal ? - might be a better way of saying it, but they both convey the same basic meaning. I mean I get that everybody wants or would like some of their coins "to look better" but sometimes, maybe even a lot of the time, that simply isn't possible. And yeah, everybody's got a different idea of what actually does look better or doesn't look better - it's a chocolate and vanilla thing. But when it comes the proper cleaning of coins, I don't know how else to say it - there is a limit to what's possible. Distilled water, acetone, xylene, and even coin dip - there is a limit to what each one CAN do. And in point of fact, it's a short list for each one ! Now between the 4 things you can remove most foreign contaminants from a coin - without harming the coin. But each one will only do a few specific things, but there's a whole lot of things each one will not do, cannot do. So that simple question needs to be answered - before you ever do anything ![/QUOTE]
