<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TomCorona, post: 619373, member: 17621&quot;]Well...answer is that it is a very, very, very bad chemical, which we certainly would not want on our coins because, that would leave traces of an &quot;un-natural&quot; trace on the coin, which would then have to be removed with yet another chemical, and then another and on and on to infinity....which..would constitute harsh cleaning, which would be instantly detectable even decades or centuries from now (to the trained and experienced collector&#039;s eye anyway), and we also know that any foreign substances (other than the coin&#039;s own natural atmosphere) would additionally be instantly detectable (and no un-natural re-toning cause we&#039;ll know....we&#039;ll just know...trust me) however, naturally re-toning would be ok because it&#039; natural, of course, because it&#039;s acceptable to &quot;naturally&quot; hide defects/damage, as defined by nature but not un-naturally (far less deceptive when it&#039;s natural). Besides we wouldn&#039;t want to &quot;un-naturally&quot; expose any said flaws or damage. cause that&#039;s not the &quot;natural&quot; beauty of the coin. (naturally covering damage/flaws would be ok).Having said that, &quot;natural&quot; acetone, would, naturally,<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> be ok. But the one you describe with Bi-sodium somethingorother can&#039;t possibly be good..can&#039;t be natural..must be harsh. So...moral of the story..NEVER EVER CLEAN YOUR COINS..it&#039;s not natural and will deem your coins virtually worthless and immediately recognized as such..FOREVER and ever (with an un-natural acetone mix of course, again, natural acetone would be ok.......either that or lighter fluid)</p><p>&nbsp;Oh, you just wanted to know what that chemical was. Answer...I&#039;ve personally never heard of it so then it must be bad,bad,bad..</p><p>Hope I didn&#039;t confuse you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
