<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 744747, member: 15199&quot;]I would rinse the coin with acetone. Acetone will remove moisture as well as organic mucus. Hold the coin upright by edge, rinse with pure acetone, and hold that way until air dry ( few seconds). Same if accidentally touch surface. No rubbing with anything.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I will assume cardboard/mylar window type of 2x2.&nbsp; Make sure there is no visible paper dust on the inside of the mylar that will touch the coin. Static charges in dry weather makes this tough, that is why I use the mylar flips instead of cardboard (and seal the edge with a heat sealer). If you use staples, stainless steel staples are best, but if you use normal office staples, staple as far from the coin as safe, as staples can rust and carry contaminants into the mylar inside since the staple penetrates the mylar.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your environment is such an important factor, you made need little care, or they may corrode right in front of your eyes, even in a slab. Vigilant checking is important.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
