<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2315646, member: 76194&quot;]If you ask any ancient coin collector, every single one will readily admit that all their coins have been cleaned at some point. You have to, as ancients come out of the ground heavily encrusted in mineral deposits and dirt. So unless you want the coin so heavily encrusted that you can&#039;t even tell what it is, cleaning is a must and is readily accepted. It&#039;s no problem at all, unless you go too far and overclean it to the point you are just tooling a coin or remove all patina.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, dipping in acetone is a form of cleaning. Granted, it may do a lot more good than anything else especially if your goal is to remove PVC which will damage your coin. But it is still a form of cleaning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
