<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 153931, member: 112&quot;]It may remove some of the surface corrosion caused by the verdigris but it won&#039;t won&#039;t remove it all. And more importantly it won&#039;t stop it from continuing the corrosion process. It would also mean that you would now have coins with another contaminant (olive oil ) on them and that will need to be removed.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are situations in which coins <u>should</u> be cleaned. Those situatations are when the coin has PVC or verdigris on it, or when a coin has been found in the ground ( such as Jim&#039;s ) or in the sea, or when toning has reached the point that it is causing corrosion. In all of these situations if the cleaning is not performed the coin will only be damaged further until it reaches the point where the coin is totally unrecognizable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, when any of these things happen and the coin needs cleaned it should be cleaned first of all with a process that is going to work for the situation at hand. To do otherwise will only cause even more damage. In each of these situations there are specific cleaning agents that will work, but typically they will only work one and sometimes two of them. For the others it will be a waste of time.</p><p><br /></p><p>So please - if you need to clean your coins, use the right product for the right situation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
