<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 1659215, member: 33176&quot;]Cleaning is a big sin to many collectors, but then again, how many of us are free from sin.&nbsp; There is a big difference between harsh cleaning and cleaning.&nbsp; If you can clean and not leave any trace of damage from the cleaning, that is fine.&nbsp; usually immersing in a solvent can do this.&nbsp; Depending on the coin condition, very gentle use of a q-tip might be OK.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have wondered too about the use of gasoline or kerosene.&nbsp; I would think gasoline would be an no-no because of the possible additives, whereas if the kerosene were pure, that should be no worse than xylene.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
