<p>[QUOTE="chascat, post: 2426459, member: 76792"]I use 50% clear household ammonia and 50% distilled water. Don,t clean copper coins... as for proof silvers and clads, It works very well. Never touch the surface while dipping. Rinse well in tap water and than again in distilled water. Blot dry with soft cotton but never in a side to side motion. Finish drying with a hair dryer. This method works especially well on brown box Ikes and hazy proof sets produced before 1990. If more dipping is needed, it will not harm the coins, but use caution with clads as they contain some copper so don,t use more than 50% ammonia, and experiment with less valuable coins at first.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
