<p>[QUOTE="SSG_Gonzo, post: 2315407, member: 31791"]When it comes to conserving coins (better term then cleaning) it is better to use acetone. Acetone will remove the residue from the coin without the nasty effects that other cleaners do. This is important especially for those collectors trying to fill holes in their albums. Take me for example, I am not wealthy so I tend to look for coins within my budget, however I will not purchase a coin that has been improperly conserved. If you are cleaning coins for melt value I would simply tell you that you are wasting your time, time which could be spent finding those double dies during that period. As for value in the coins from 1959 thru 1981 I would suggest that you go to Fair Market Value on-line and you can see that these coins do have numismatic value in them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
