<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buddy16cat, post: 1551671, member: 37356&quot;]One thing I wonder about using the term &quot;conservation&quot; instead of cleaning.&nbsp; You can call cleaning anything you want it is still cleaning.&nbsp; We know there is a difference between cleaning and harsh cleaning.&nbsp; Soaking coins in distilled water or acetone may not be harsh but it is still in fact cleaning since it gets rid of surface dirt and can leave pits.&nbsp; Sometimes cleaning is required, especially if gunk is covering the date or mintmark or there is verdigris that can damage the coin. Calling it something else doesn&#039;t change that fact that you are cleaning a coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
