[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 24659276, member: 112"]I'll try and make it simple. When it comes to cleaning coins safely and correctly anyone can use - 1 - rinsing and or soaking in distilled water 2 - rinsing and or soaking in acetone (except on copper) 3 - rinsing and or soaking in xylene - without fear of harming or damaging the coin in any way. Assuming of course that you handle the coin carefully and correctly and not just bang it around and let it get beat up. But other than that, until and unless you know what you are doing, you shouldn't do it ! You shouldn't even try ! It's one thing to experiment with coins of no consequence in order to practice and learn - doing that is fine. But [U]it is not fine[/U] to do it with coins you want in your collection or coins of any value. And when you're trying to learn - YouTube is not the answer ! You need somebody that actually knows what they are doing and has considerable experience with doing it to teach you - in person, face to face ![/QUOTE]
