What does everyone think of this cleaner MS70 and have you used it?

I know it's difficult to see the results from the video, but if you stop it at certain points you can see a small difference. Cleaning with MS70 video Video: Cleaning a coin with MS70

Easy to find using Google.

I always let it soak in for several seconds before using the Q-Tip. And I can't agree when rinsing, you would rub the coin even with gloves on. Just rinse
for about a minute, no rubbing at all, then place in a bowl of acetone, followed by air drying.

Thanks. His invalid link began with "ftp://" so I figured he might have been hosting the file on his own server, thinking maybe it was made by himself. I didn't think to use google.

My experience showed that soaking the Q-Tip in MS70 creates run off. On a copper nickel clad coin, as shown in the video, that run off will turn the copper edge of the coin pink so you might as well just dip it. Even of the coins obv and rev are bright, a pink copper edge will scream cleaned and not produced the desired effect.

Instead, squeeze most of the MS70 out of the Q-Tip. That way, only the obverse and reverse surfaces are affected. I would also NOT rub the coin, even with rubber gloves to clean off the MS70. Instead, simply rinse under running water then follow that with a dip in warmed distilled water with a final rince in 91% Isopropyl alcohol.

Here's a really stupid question: why would someone want to dip a coin?

1. An expensive coin wouldn't be dipped by most people I would assume.
2. A cheap coin wouldn't be worth dipping...

I'm not for or against, I just don't see the logic in cleaning because all it will do is drop the value of a good coin and not make a difference on an average one.

What am I missing? Why do You dip?

Eye appeal.

To remove ugly toning is one reason. People like bright white, it certifies higher and sells better.

Contrary to the current fad, toning - otherwise known as surface degeneration - was not always popular, and today, there are still many who not only do not like it, but refuse to pay extra money for a degraded coin. Refuse to drink the kool-aid. Cheers, RickO

Does MS70 remove the toning? I thought MS70 was a super detergent rather than an acid that only removed the surface grime, grease, oil, dirt, etc and left the toning unaffected.

Good question. I'll have to see what I might have laying around and do some experimenting.

& none of this is doctoring a coin?

In the video, you can see the "cartwheel" effect before treatment,

none noted after treatment. Just looks cleaned.

I agree, no cartwheel on the obverse after cleaning. The reverse still has some but not a vivid as before.

Nice catch.
