<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 875338, member: 19065&quot;]soap leaves residue and can contain chemicals that would effect the surface of the coin to be cleaned. tap water contains minerals that could deposit on the coin as well. avoid soap, avoid tap water, avoid cleaning until you know a lot more about all the things that could go wrong and devalue your coin(s)... you can however, soak coins in distilled water and carefully air dry them on a soft surface but do not pat dry as it can scratch and impart a pattern from a cloth on the coin.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>OP: Use the CoinTalk search function and read some of the multitudes of threads on cleaning, and arguments pro/con cleaning... :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
