[QUOTE="TylerH, post: 3173064, member: 97181"]This is a multi point response to WHY: 1) Curiosity. I have a bunch of coins that have little to no value that just have a bit of gunk on them, whether PVC green or stuff caked in the rim. I figured a spot cleaning solution would be great for that. 2) It says its safe and acid free. I thought that meant safe. the label is a bit misleading. Oddly there is not a ton of info about this product online that I could find. TONS of stuff on EZest, not much on this. 3) Price. Ran out of acetone and this was the same price and again, I felt like being able to spot clean vs submerge was better. 4) For THIS coin, I have 2 in equal condition (technically the one I MS70'd was in worse shape a bit) The other is soaking in the last of my acetone! 5) Time!!!! Acetone seems to take hours, this said SECONDS. Seemed like a solid time save :) 6) Lack of general experience in coin collecting. I just started out and I love experimentation, so I figured why not? Again it totes itself as safe for all these metals. So basically it was a combo of curiosity, experimentation and a bit of naive outlook on trying to get some gunk off of these coins![/QUOTE]
