<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1978710, member: 112&quot;]Just like with anything else there&#039;s a correct way to do it and a wrong way to do it - proper = correct. Coin dip is an acid, that&#039;s why it works. And if used correctly it will not harm a coin. If used incorrectly it can harm and possibly destroy the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe, maybe not. There are basically 3 things that you can use to properly clean a coin: distilled water, acetone, xylene.&nbsp; And if used at all they should be used in that order, meaning each one is successively a bit stronger than the preceding. All of these can be readily purchased in a store.</p><p><br /></p><p>Distilled water will safely remove some things and not others, acetone will safely remove some things and not others, xylene will safely remove some things and not others. None of them will remove natural toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, there is still a lot to know and correct procedures to follow when you use each of these things. And unless you already know what you are doing then you are probably best off not doing it all.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is also a lot to know about what each of those things will work on and what they won&#039;t. And that&#039;s the hardest part there is to learn. In other words you have to be able to look at a coin and correctly identify what is wrong with it before you know what to use.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
