<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 267921, member: 4552&quot;]As an after thought I took several Lincoln cents, a nickel, Silver dime, clad quarter and put them all in Acetone in a glass jar, sealed it for a few days. It was in my garage on a window ledge. Today I took them all out, rinsed with distilled water, allowed to dry on a cotton towel. All coins were well worn, dirty, of no real value. The dime became darkened in many large areas. All the rest of the coins basically looked no different. The nickel did appear a little cleaner. </p><p>I&#039;ve been experimenting with differnt types of cleaning agents for years but so far either nothing like the above or horribly ruined by discolorations and/or pitting. Regardless of what some say, there is just no advantage to cleaning most coins. With my 95 Double Die cent it was an exception but out of many, many other cleaning attempts, most ruined coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
