[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 674593, member: 112"]Just because I haven't tried it myself doesn't mean that I haven't seen the results a thousand times. Or know of a thousand others who have tried it. Tom, people have been coming to this forum and discussing the myriad methods of cleaning coins for the past 7 years - I have read every single one of them. Then there were all the forums I was involved in before that time, during that time, and the past 49 years of my life that I have talked to, discussed, and examined coins that have been cleaned by just about every method you think of. I was first told by my grandfather in 1960 about the dangers of cleaning coins. It's never stopped since then. Now, if you paid closer attention, read more threads, or had been around here a lot longer, you would have seen first hand the numerous, and I mean numerous times, that I have given very detailed instructions for the non harmful methods of cleaning that I am aware of and know to work. Unfortunately, there are only 2 that I know of. Using distilled water is one, using acetone (only on some coins) is the second. Pretty much every other method that I have ever seen [B]IS[/B] harmful, or it doesn't work. So of course, I recommend against those. Now if you think you know of a method that is not harmful, be my guest - tell us all.[/QUOTE]
