Many of them just pour them in their septic tanks.

Is it just me or do others not want to dig in a septic tank for coins? They sure would have to be worth a lot of money to that.

I have used acetone to remove both pvc and tape deposits.
If you just let them soak, I don't think it will hurt a thing.
But it will make your coins look better.
I dip silver coins that I keep for my Albums if they need it.
I would much rather have a clean older 90% silver coin that one that has turned Black or just dark.

Well Carl, you did reply your questions yourself very well.
We are actually merchants, we do not dig the septic tanks our self. Somebody else did, and then they must wash them first before they sold to us. After the years, the becomes fertilizer. We didn't even watch them digging, that was the story what happening. It does happen all the times, most of the times they keep it quiet some time they can't. Like our neighbor demolished their old house to be rebuild. The workers hit a wall and coins pouring out, mobs came to pick them up. You never really know where the coins were before you have them. That is what makes it interesting.
