<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mralexanderb, post: 510805, member: 7851&quot;]We&#039;re back to artificial toning and cleaning/dipping which can be OK, or not. While I have never done either AT or C/D I know I have a coin or two that have been cleaned and that&#039;s OK with me because it&#039;s not garish or unsightly or phony-looking. It&#039;s just the way it is. And, hopefully, I paid accordingly. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Hey, I&#039;ve got a jug of pure acetone that I&#039;ve been meaning to clean some gunk (PVC) off of the coin for the last 5 months. I haven&#039;t done it yet. (My bad) I know I should at least clean the PVC stuff off. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There are many of my circ. coins that could use a acetone bath to get the debris off of that I haven&#039;t gotten around to. I&#039;ll deal with these coins later.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The thing is you have to make up your own standards as to how you will treat your coins. Clean, Dip, AT, wire brush (ouch), Whiz(BOO), whatever, they are yours to cherish, or ruin as you see fit. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Just keep in mind that these coin are rare and precious, sometimes unique, pieces of art that deserve better than mutilation and destruction.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
