<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 3045442, member: 33176&quot;]I&#039;m an old coin cleaner from waaaaaaay back and have ruined many coins.&nbsp; Some I think I have helped.&nbsp; First, there are two classes of coins, really new looking coins (uncirculated, almost uncirculated, XF and proof) and older worn coins.&nbsp; The primary thing NOT to do with the new looking coins is to wipe or rub them.&nbsp; This will cause lines on the coins, even with clean, soft cloths, because it tends to scrub whatever grit that is on the surface over the coin, scratching them.&nbsp; On older coins, it isn&#039;t as objectionable since they already have a myriad of scratches.&nbsp; As far as other cleaning agents go, the safest is always pure solvents as Doug ([USER=112]@GDJMSP[/USER] ) has already mentioned.&nbsp; If you use any other agent other than pure solvents, you should bend over backwards to remove those agents by rinsing with pure solvents.&nbsp; Then there are ancient coins..................[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
