<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 2548893, member: 33176"]The presence of NaOH or KOH in MS-70 means that it will have a saponifying (soap making) effect on many organic residues. The most common plasticizer for PVC is dioctylphthalate, and NaOH or KOH would destroy this. A strong stream of water is often sufficient to move stubborn residues off of coins. The only time I would really worry about "rub" marks on a coin would be if it were a nice BU piece or a Proof.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
