<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 683078, member: 4552"]From what you have thier it is rather to small a problem to mess with. As noted though if you really want to try, start with the distilled water. After a dip in that, place on a cotton cloth, BLOW DRY. Do not attempt to wipe dry. If no improvement, and you want to play around a little more, try the Acetone dipping system. You should be able to find tons of info on that by using the search thing at the top and typing in Acetone. </p><p>Places like Walmart now carry several varieities of Jewlery cleaners. One if for Copper, one for Silver, one for Gold, etc. All work really OK on jewlery, miscellaneous metals, etc. but on coins, as already noted they all contain an acidic substance that does little in the way of helping a coin. Some leave distinctive discolorations on coins. </p><p>Also, if you search this forum for coin cleaning, cleaned coins, etc you will find many people that claim other substances also work. Lighter fluids, Tomato Juice, Vinegar, spit, dish soaps and on and on and on. Still the best method is to just NOT CLEAN COINS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
