    Yes, as far as I know there’s never been a suitable replacement formulated.

    I think I have a sealed bottle I bought over decade ago from a forum member. I've never used it.

    I had a bottle of that in the 1970's.

    It was a really good product for copper cents. It removed oil and junk without harm to the surfaces. Once it dried there were no signs that the coin was treated. The military used it for cleaning weapons. The health risk were really bad. I understand the replacement was not all that great. I never tried it.
