We all have some coins that are just so horrendously dirty with decades of "gunk" (for lack of a better word) that you're about ready to toss 'em in the junk silver bucket. One of my "last resort" attempts is to use an ultrasonic device to see if anything comes off. I've always used distilled water in mine, but then I got to pondering.......
Has anyone ever tried an ultrasonic device with any kind of other liquid? Maybe some diluted detergent like MS-70, or maybe some petroleum based solvent? But then again maybe the solvent would burst into flames...
Your thoughts?
Remember, this is a last resort scenario.

I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector.
