<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 24833359, member: 33176&quot;]There are lots of &quot;safe&quot; things, but they are all pure solvents and some are not as helpful as others.&nbsp; Water, acetone and xylene are the ones most mentioned with there being some concern of acetone with copper (eh).&nbsp; Could also use alcohol (ethyl, isopropyl, even butyl) if they are pure.&nbsp; If you know what MEK is, that would be fine, ethyl ether, tetrahydorfuran, chloroform, etc. as long as they are pure.&nbsp; That being said, acetone in fingernail polish remover often has perfumes or lanolin and should be avoided.&nbsp; Catchword is PURE.&nbsp; Other than that, there are dips that will remove tarnish, but use with extreme caution.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This should be understood to be for &quot;collector&quot; coins, Unc. and Proof, rare, etc.&nbsp; For coins from the junk bin, feel free to use soap and water, but be sure to rinse THOROUGHLY and possibly a final rinse with distilled water.&nbsp; Happy collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
