<p>[QUOTE="TheFinn, post: 3098171, member: 90102"]And the soap and water is used to remove the gunk that is already reacting with that luster. If the coin is only tarnished, there is no need to wash it. But if it is dirty, then it needs to be removed. This is not a blanket method. I won't use acetone to clean coins - especially copper - because of how it messes with the luster and raw metal surfaces. For polar solvents, IPA is as tough as I will use.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
