Rubduck Valued Member United States 100 Posts	Posted 03/08/2025 6:03 pm Well, somebody on the forum told me that I should use vinegar. To soak it in Report this Post to the Staff
Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3500 Posts	Posted 03/08/2025 6:16 pm OK, I just wouldn't use vinegar on any coin that I wanted to keep/add to a collection. Report this Post to the Staff
oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 3917 Posts	Posted 03/08/2025 8:18 pm 100% acetone to clean coins, can be bought from hardware stores and do not use finger nail acetone it is not the same. Just soak your coin and then rinse, pat dry, do not handle without gloves. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7062 Posts	Posted 03/09/2025 4:37 pm If someone on this forum suggested it, they shouldn't have. There are only 3 things to use on copper. Water, acetone, and Verdi care. Report this Post to the Staff
