<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bruthajoe, post: 3937128, member: 108656&quot;]Just to be clear, I&#039;m not promoting cleaning coins. It&#039;s a learning experience. Is acetone dipping cleaning? Or preservation? Maybe restoration.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;Unfortunately acetone dipping does not remove corrosion. And I think some types of corrosion (heavy corrosion) are just as ugly as tape or glue. A contaminant on the surface of the coin is just that, on the surface and has most likely destroyed the coin face.&nbsp; I&#039;ve heard that coin dealers are breaking slabs &quot;cleaning&quot; the coin and sending it back for better grades. What you consider cleaning is going to be up to you because apparently there is no good definition of coin cleaning. I&#039;d rather not even use the word here anymore because it is not acceptable to collectors. I was hoping this thread would turn into non-invasive restoration methods .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
