<p>[QUOTE="bruthajoe, post: 3974202, member: 108656"]Cleaning a coin of oxidation only exposes the horrors that may lie beneath. Even proper cleaning. The surface of the coin has changed and cannot be undone. Sometimes they may look better but there is nothing desirable under that patina, the original surface is gone. I've been playing with the notion and find that even if you can't tell a coin was cleaned the fact is a shiny coin should only be shiny if it has always been shiny, unlike my treated Wheats. I like my silver patina and I'll just let the clad ones rust. Acetone don't do anything unless you have PVC or gunk residue and most likely the coin was mistreated anyway and not even worth it. But doesn't hurt apparently. MS70 also removed PVC haze but also removes toning.[ATTACH=full]1045908[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
