<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 3101700, member: 33176&quot;]The main thing to remember about cleaning modern (after 1500 or so) coins is that you don&#039;t want to rub the surface in general.&nbsp; Rubbing can cause scratches and the newer the coin is, the more detrimental to it&#039;s value it is.&nbsp; That being said, using harsh chemicals (acids and bases) on the coins can also affect the surface.&nbsp; What we are left with is soaking.&nbsp; Water, acetone, alcohol and xylene are all used in some cases.&nbsp; Other than this, seek out help for specific cases.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
