<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3831246, member: 112&quot;]Just a suggestion: OK, you tried it your way, now try 1 coin the way Jim told ya to do it in post #4. I think you&#039;ll be amazed at the difference in the outcome.</p><p><br /></p><p>The rest of my comments here are not directed at you personally, but at anyone who reads them.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for this discussion of &quot;soft plastic&quot;. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that exist, no cloth, no material, no anything, that is &quot;soft&quot; enough that it can be rubbed against a coin without harming the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Ya know the micro-fiber cloths that have been touted and highly advertised for many years now for the purpose of cleaning things and polishing things - do ya know what they are made of ? They are made of plastic. </p><p><br /></p><p>And to the human touch there&#039;s not a whole lot out there that feels softer. And these micro-fiber cloths, they do a great job of cleaning and polishing. Do you know why ? They work so well because they are abrasive, and they are abrasive because plastic is hard, and sharp. That&#039;s why they work ! And if you use them on coins, yeah, they will do great job of polishing that coin. You can polish one up until it almost shines like a mirror. Of course the coin will be completely ruined, but it will sure be nice and shiny.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now if that sounds counterintuitive to you consider this. Coin dies for Proof coins, they are polished to a mirror surface with diamond - just about the hardest and sharpest substance known. </p><p><br /></p><p>My point here of course is that there is no &quot;soft plastic&quot; basket or bag of any kind that is &quot;soft&quot; enough that it will not harm a coin in an ultrasonic cleaner. No matter what you use, or how you suspend the coin, ultrasonic cleaners will harm the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are proper ways to clean coins, without harming the coins, but they are very few and far between. And ultrasonic cleaners is not one of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
