<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FreakyGarrettC, post: 1074978, member: 15832&quot;]I don&#039;t find much of a difference between the two. I have &quot;cleaned&quot; or &quot;conserved&quot; a number of coins using a huge range of chemicals. Acetone is conserving but still cleaning unwanted residue off the coin. Dipping when done correctly generally does not cause noticeable damage but still removes a very small layer of the metal, providing the coin with a false luster, similar to the luster caused by the minting process.</p><p><br /></p><p>Conservation, or coin cleaning, is a part of the hobby. I would just wish people would stop taking lemon juice to their lincoln cents and metal brushes to their morgans! If done correctly it can benefit the condition of the coin without causing damage.</p><p><br /></p><p>Garrett <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
