[QUOTE="clembo, post: 492548, member: 8033"]Vinegar is an acid as stated. Acid + coins = BAD. I admit that I use vinegar on coins occasionally. Dateless buffalo nickels actually as it has the same effect of Nic-A-Date on a buffalo just takes longer. Use vinegar in salads, pickling, window cleaning etc. Coke. My grandfather used to toss rusted bolts and the like in Coke to clean off the corrosion. Tell you anything about Coke? Many moons ago I started a thread about a cleaner called Blue Ribbon. Removes dirt and leaves a "coating". Seems it has some nasty chemicals in it but I'll tell you this. One can use it as directed and still get a coin slabbed by the big TPGs. It will NOT remove corrosion, it will NOT remove fingerprints it only lifts dirt and the effects over many years could indeed be harmful. Bottom line - stay away from cleaning whenever possible and sure as heck stay away from harsh materials like vinegar and Coke. A coin is what it is.[/QUOTE]
