<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 8583726, member: 26302&quot;]I agree with others here. Until you are truly a bona fide expert, soaking with acetone, (not nail polish remover, go to a hardware store and get pure acetone), then a rinse with distilled water, (not from tap, buy a jug or collect condensate from AC unit), and you have almost no chance of hurting anything. Other than that leave it alone, especially bullion. Who cares what bullion looks like? If its not bullion, but a collectible coin, then anything other that what I said you most likely will harm the coin. Soap can actually contain tons of chemicals that can harm the coin long term, and rubbing on a coin, especially an uncirculated one, will also harm it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been around coins close to 50 years now, and I only use acetone, distilled water, verdicare to remove bronze disease on ancients, and ren wax on some ancients, (like the ones treated for bronze disease).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
