[QUOTE="mrweaseluv, post: 24885057, member: 40340"]1st I'll say I never recommend any type of "cleaning" of coins... Minor conservation that leaves no mark or chemical trace is another story :D even that I don't recommend anyone attempt it on any coin of real value, leave that to the experts at the TPGs if the coin is worth the cost of the process :D I strongly suggest you forget about EZ-est and MS-70, they destroy more coins then they help. As for the acetone dipping will often remove or destroy any natural "toning" on silver as well as any patina it has developed.. over dipping will cause a coin to become flat and grey. add to this the stench and flammability of acetone, I tend to avoid it and use xylene instead. It smells much better and i think better to remove pvc but still very flammable. Last copper.. here it depends on what your trying to clean.. for an older green (verdigris) coin Verdi-care can work very well, even if I don't always use it "as directed" For Nice/expensive copper, distilled water and maybe a coat of verdi-care are really about it with further damage to the coin.[/QUOTE]
