<p>[QUOTE="Tunakahuna13, post: 3927309, member: 108229"]Cleaning using s dip like acetone isnt harsh on the surfaces of the coin, doesnt effect toning or mint luster. Using a q tip with it to mop up the grime it brakes free does. A spray bottle with more acetone would be ideal and would effect neither the appearance nor the value. Touching anything on the surface including those white gloves and moving across it is going to slowly create wear. Even with the gloves on, dealers hold by the rim for precisely this reason. On the other side of dipping, using a reactive substance like an acid on the coin will quickly remove every contaminate that is carbon based bt will also oxidize the metal surfaces and leave you open to continued problems until you ultimately have had enough and rebuy with the lesson learned the hard way. We have all been there. It makes it look better, but only for a while.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
