<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 538945, member: 4552&quot;]All cleaning substances aside, please watch that program on TV called the Antique Roadshow. If you do you would note they mention many, many, many times about cleaning, washing, etc anything old. Old furniture, coins, guns and/or anything old. Older items could, might just fall apart. Some of the corrosion, toning, tarnishing or whatever may already be part of the coins. Most of these problems with coins are from a chemical combination with other substances such as Oxygen, Flourine, Chlorine or many others. When they are removed they take away some of the metal. Yes you may end up with a new looking coin but it will be known, classified, tagged as a cleaned coin. If and when you or anyone attempts to sell such coins, you will notice a massive reduction in price. </p><p>A really good thing to do is use the search portion of this forum for cleaning coins, Acetone, polishing coins and/or other related subjects. </p><p>If you do use the lighter fluid, place outside and light it. :whistle: If enough fluid, no more problems. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
