[QUOTE="clembo, post: 214399, member: 8033"][b]"Coin Care"[/b] In response to Bgarg. "Coin Care" sounds a lot like Blue Ribbon a cleaner you can no longer get. I will state that I have no ties to this product and did not when it was available but it had the same properties of "Coin Care". It was to remove dirt mainly but also left a protective film. I have never been one to clean coins as a rule. However, Blue Ribbon would help a nice coin retain it's patina etc. When I showed my local dealer my set of Mint State Two Cent Pieces he SUGGESTED using Blue Ribbon to preserve them. He also informed me that he had used this product for years and never had a problem getting PCGS or NGC to grade them. Eventually I will slab my set but until then they are nestled in a Capitol holder and have ALL been treated with Blue Ribbon. Did it a few years ago and they still look just fine. I might mention that I paint for a living therefore I do have some experience with Acetone. Not too pleasant on your hands so I can't imagine that it's good for a coin over time. After all I can always wash my hands and put some hand lotion on. Would you do THAT to your coins? clembo[/QUOTE]
