<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2298124, member: 112&quot;]I&#039;m gonna take a shortcut here. Simply put there are 4 things that can be used to safely, and properly, clean coins. They are:</p><p>1 distilled water</p><p>2 acetone</p><p>3 xylene</p><p>4 coin dip</p><p><br /></p><p>Number 1 the procedure is simple, let the coin soak in distilled water, time will vary. It may only take 20-30 minutes, it may take days to be effective. Then rinse in clean distilled water, stand the coin on edge on a soft towel or cloth, leaning the coin up against the back splash on your counter top and allow it dry overnight.</p><p><br /></p><p>For numbers 2 &amp; 3, follow the procedure outlined here - <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/proper-acetone-procedure.193708/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/proper-acetone-procedure.193708/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/proper-acetone-procedure.193708/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>For number 4, if you don&#039;t already have extensive experience with dipping coins, then don&#039;t try it. It is all too easy to ruin a coin by dipping it improperly. But properly dipping a coin can turn a dog into a gem - or not. Dipping a coin is always, always, always, a crap shoot. There is absolutely no way to know the outcome in advance.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to learn how to dip coins properly, then get somebody who already knows to teach you, in person. Yeah, you can follow written directions, and you can ruin a coin - or not. But it is best to not even try it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
