<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2360535, member: 1892&quot;]Not really. Yes, tap water has the potential to leave deposits on a coin - of course, if your tap water is that bad, it&#039;s leaving those deposits on your sinks, killing your faucets every few years and you don&#039;t want to drink it, but for the sake of argument I freely concede that it&#039;s possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>That is irrelevant because if you&#039;re doing it right the tap water won&#039;t be in contact with the coin long enough to matter. The <b>indispensable</b>, must-have tool for the coin conservator (indeed, for <i>anyone</i> who purchases raw coins) is acetone, and that&#039;s the very first thing you should learn how to use. It should be the first and last thing which ever touches a coin, and as long as anything you use tap water on always finishes in an acetone rinse, you don&#039;t need to worry about what &quot;deposits&quot; on the coin because the acetone rinse will remove it in solution.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
