<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 3443322, member: 33176"]Whoa...let's talk about water. Really good stuff particularly with some added bourbon <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Distilled water (evaporation followed by condensation) gives what we would consider pure water, 99.99999% except that there might still be organic solvents that distilled over with the water. Now tap water by government standards can contain 500 mg/L which would be roughly 99.95% pure (except in Flint, Michigan...not so funny). I have no idea what dissolved "rock" is. Also, chloramine is no more a mix of chlorine and ammonia than sodium chloride (table salt) is a mix of chlorine and sodium! </p><p>With that being said, soaking coins in water is a good thing. In most parts of the world, tap water is perfectly acceptable, however a couple of rinses with distilled water after the soaking is a really good idea. If you don't have distilled water, just make sure you blot the coins off after soaking. </p><p>[USER=59737]@Seattlite86[/USER] I hope that orange color isn't rust.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
