<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TomCorona, post: 1742791, member: 17621&quot;]Hello all. I&#039;d posted (I thought) this question via my &quot;welcome&quot; message/blog, I think, but didn&#039;t get any answers and now I can&#039;t find it. So...curiously, I ask, would/ has anyone used lighter fluid to clean coins ? I know the general rule of thought for cleaning coins, and the answer mostly being &quot;don&#039;t&quot;. My dilemma is, my childhood best friend, who collects/buy/sells coins (has been into the hobby since he was 6...now 45), swears that lighter fluid has no ill effects on coins, says he&#039;s done it for years, and insists it is fine. I would like to know your opinions though, as I believe a consensus from experienced people (such as yourselves as well as my good friend) results in the most informed decision possible. I mentioned acetone, which he said &quot;no&quot; to (as it result in damage), further very confidently insisting &quot;lighter fluid&quot; is the way to go. He told me to try it on lesser coins, which I will do, but, I really would like your opinions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
