Just Carl, I'm not going to change your views on how to clean coins and you're not going to change mine. The use of WD-40 does not, will not, and has not damaged the metal of any coin of mine it's been used on. Simply just an old wives tale. Additionally, I don't go about arbitrarily dipping coins in any substance be it Acetone or WD-40 to simply beautify them or experiment.
I only recommend its use (WD-40) to remove the most extreme/damaging encrustations a coin can be found to have, like ancients or severe corrosion/verdigris. The recreational use of cleansing agents to deceive the potential buyer is a despicable practice in my opinion and no I don't have any acetone or any other substance exclusively designed for cleaning coins. I collect guns and only have the cleaning substances which are recommended for their maintenance. Like Hoppes #9 Solvent and lubricating oil, LOL...
However, I do respect the position you've taken and will let the matter lay for now...
