<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 2086227, member: 31533&quot;]That would be a supreme waste of my time, and violate the principle that you should never clean a coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>That said, I know that in some cases, cleaning a coin is done (you are &#039;conserving&#039; it), or when metal detector finds have something found that is covered with muck, or some of the ancients. This can be acceptable. </p><p><br /></p><p>The problem comes in trying to find the most perfect coin cleaning solution for modern or classic coins that will then be used, eventually if not right away, to ruin a good collectable coin. Now your coin may not be collectible and if you want to experiment on junk, that&#039;s your prerogative, but if you come on to the coin collector forum asking if this is the best solution, you will likely get these replies you have already gotten.</p><p><br /></p><p>People can argue, ad nauseum, about &quot;well, how about this coin...&quot; etc., but it all comes down to what your practice will be numismatically. And a basic of coin collecting is don&#039;t clean the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
