<p>[QUOTE=&quot;steve63, post: 2494184, member: 76463&quot;]First, let me state that I don&#039;t clean any coins of value so I don&#039;t need a lecture about cleaning coins.&nbsp; However, when it comes to common coins that I have in series sets of modern coins, I do clean them if they are so dirty that they are eyesores.&nbsp;&nbsp; For example, in my state quarters collection I have a few states where the coins were too dirty and looked out of place next to all the other brilliant ones.&nbsp; Since they are only worth face value (and won&#039;t be worth any more than that in my lifetime), I cleaned about a half dozen of them using E-Zest and then rinsed them with distilled water.&nbsp;&nbsp; Right after cleaning, they all looked great.&nbsp; But the next day two of the six turned an ugly brownish color.&nbsp; The other four still look great.&nbsp;&nbsp; I must have done something wrong using E-Zest but I can&#039;t figure out for the life of me what it was since all the coins were the same (Clad State quarters) and I cleaned them all the same way, yet 2 of them got ruined.&nbsp; (I should say that I recleaned the 2 and they look much better now, but still some brown on them).&nbsp; Has anyone ever used E-Zest for cleaning and seen this?&nbsp; Any idea what might be causing this (did I dip it too long, too short, should I not use distilled water to rinse?).&nbsp; I just don&#039;t get why 4 cleaned perfectly but 2 got ruined.&nbsp; Thanks for&nbsp; any help/suggestions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
