<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ikandiggit, post: 967807, member: 16269&quot;]I can&#039;t answer your question, Chris.</p><p><br /></p><p>With paper and cloth conservation, it seems like it&#039;s a closed world. The person who repaired our vintage linens was a sub-contractor and was the only one qualified in the city. She took the materials back to her shop and worked on them there and they came back perfect. The paper conservationist used liquid baths to clean the papers but she wouldn&#039;t divulge what the contents of the bottles were. </p><p><br /></p><p>It may be that metal cleaning was more common because of household applications. I spent a lot of time when I was a kid polishing my parent&#039;s silverware. It would be a small step to take the same kind of techniques and use them on coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
