One wonders if anything could be done to convince the Tarn-X manufacturers to cease mentioning its use on coins. Truth in advertising regulations?

Fred I dont think it would work, due to in all reality it can be used on coins ,, the real basic fact is that is up to the consumer to decide if it should be used on coins !!
It is not TarnX's responsibility to educate coin collectors.

ND, Thanks for the great illustration. Put this at the top of the proposed coin cleaning thread, along with other examples as a sticky! Mike Edited by Mike

I think the point of their commercial was to make people who have inherited or stumbled across coins and aren't collecters to say "oooo, shiny!" |

Judging by the relative ease of law suites in the US, perhaps someone whose coins are ruined by virtue of this advertisement can sue the manufacturers for compensation....  [:p] Edited by lim118

Tarn-x and other dips and dipping will exist as long as coin collectors insist on "shiny" coins only in their collections.

Just the other evening, QVC announced just how many thousands of quarter collectors they have on their list to receive additional coins as they are released. Many, many thousands of quarter collectors.
Well, in another few years you will have a few thousand people using their Tarn-X on what they purchased on TV. A few of them may happen upon this forum and find out they have already been taken advantage of, and not go any further with the cleaner.
Let's hope so anyway.

It is, but one ruined Peace dollar may save many others, and I am willing to sacrifice one to save many. There are quite a few "heroic" coins in our education arsenal. Many have seen far more damage than this Peace dollar. |

That's true- something about the needs of the many coming before the needs of one comes to mind! At least it wasn't a Morgan that paid the price, I might have to be upset with you if it was! Rachel [:p] |

Yes. Is that a mint-mark? All of the 1927's are relatively rare. Ashame. The coin looked MUCH better before - especially the Reverse. |
