<p>[QUOTE="mralexanderb, post: 1148717, member: 7851"]A safer way to clean coins is to soak them in dstilled water for a while. Then let them air dry and if there is some more debris on them then soak them in acetone. Acertone will not alter the surface of the metal and will disolve a lot of organic contamination. Then soak them is some more distilled water and air dry or put on soft towels and flip over, but do not rub them at any time. If there is green stuff it may be PVC goop from old storage flips. Acetone or Xylene may take care of that stuff. If it's Verdigris, then try Verdi-gone. It does work wonders if you do it right. Ask Bad Thad as he knows more about this than I do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
