<p>[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2298468, member: 24314"]Cleaning a coin is easy. Anyone can do it. However, you'll need an experienced, competent, teacher to learn how to do it "right" (most of the time). Even the experts have had coins "blow-up on them when everything pointed to an easy & quick job. The guys at NCS sign a confidentially statement and cannot reveal the chemicals or methods they use. Nevertheless, things like acetone, deionized water, dip, etc. are commonly employed by conservators. Believe it or not, it's a good bet that many dealers/collectors like many here have taught themselves over the years w/trial & error to do excellent work. Key is to know what you are doing to increase the % of undetectable, satisfactory outcome. That's why everyone of us WHO CLEAN COINS ON A REGULAR BASIS tell others not to clean their coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
