<p>[QUOTE="Cascade, post: 2745532, member: 75984"]I use warm running tap water to rinse my coins after I dip them then place them on folded soft toilet paper and pat dry. I have done this with coins from low value to high hundreds. Regular strike to proofs to PL & DMPL. Never had a single problem. The trick is to pat dry right away and completely before any minerals from the tap deposit on the coin due to natural evaporation. If I have distilled water at hand I'll do a final quick rinse with it especially on high value coins just as an extra measure but it's not a necessity[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
