<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jloring, post: 1825461, member: 15518&quot;]The point is, just about everything has been used to clean coins at one time or another. When I started collecting back in the 1950&#039;s, baking soda was the &quot;cleaner&quot; of choice. Market acceptability was a different animal in those days. However, with the vast amount of information available today, even the beginning (or novice) collector knows it&#039;s best not to clean any coin that has numismatic value. I doubt this, or any of the similar threads on CT and the numerous other forums expounding the virtues of a specific &quot;cleaner&quot;, will sway someone to dump his collection in a pan and grab a brillo pad. I wouldn&#039;t worry too much about someone destroying a coin because they &quot;read how to clean coins on the internet&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
