[QUOTE="longnine009, post: 24885189, member: 1886"]The best way to handle coin cleaning is to let someone buy them, screw them up, and take the loss. Rinsing coins is not what I consider cleaning coins. But if you rinse coins with used acetone you may very well have problems. I have been rinsing coins and exo (including Lincolns and brass tokens) with acetone ever since they banned Dissolve sometime in the 80's. I have never had a problem. Older copper, I don't know about. I never owned any copper coins except Lincolns and one IHC. I don't like the idea of not knowing if some Bwain Twust just knocked off a bucket of chicken before filling my order. I rinse everything and I don't care if it's called cleaning. I never understood using distilled water on copper. Maybe it goes back to trying the simplest method first? The problem is, water is probably what cause the verdigris in the first place.[/QUOTE]
