[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1044924, member: 112"]OK here's the deal. When you use Jewel Luster you dip the coin for about 1 second max.

So either you don't understand what luster is - or this guy is not using what he is telling you he is using. Now as for the soap - no knowledgeable coin dealer or knowledgeable collector is ever going to handle any Unc coin in the manner you describe. They all know better.
