[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 568970, member: 4552"]And there is no greater threat to coins than exactly that. So many try what others claim works miracles in cleaning and base it on what someone read, told them or a story on TV. Why how could others be wrong? As to the original post. Try to remember that regardless of all the stories of magic cleaning agents, many are just stories. Many are from people that have no idea what they are saying at all. Example is the Olive Oil treatment stories and never mentioning all the possible differences in that substance. It is a manufactured item so is not necessarily consistant in properties so what worked for you today may not work at all tomorrow on a different coin or different purchase of Olive Oil. There are stories of Copper coins in Acetone in the Sun creating a photo electrical reaction that dissolves the coin. There are stories of people that cleaned all thier coins and sent them to PCGS and all came back slabbed, not cleaned. Such stories are why a good, no a great, practice is DO NOT CLEAN COINS.[/QUOTE]
