<p>[QUOTE="PROTOTYPE, post: 3055817, member: 93441"]As to cleaning coins- I know - the rule is do not clean coins- putting this rule behind me- I have some coins that need something, they are rare and get not sell them due to the years of glue and lacquer - being a retired Medical technologist I made slides all the time in histology that require dipping - just starting- I think I will use acetone for my subject coin in copper let it sit for a day or two, take it out rinse it very well and pat it dry, then a 3 second dip in EZ and again rinse well and pat dry-it is my hope that I do not remove much of the protective patina the coin naturally has and to avoid a slabing company sending me my experiment coin back to me in a body bag- anyone out there who can tell me if this has a chance to work- I will probably do this to each denomination of coins that are ugly but currently are high grade. You need a high grade I think to make this work- if you do this process on a low grade and it is all pretty, the authentication will say its dipped - take a look at this and give me your input - again- the rule never clean coins- acetone you can us safely with gold and silver-chuck[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
