Conserv™ Safe Coin Cleaning Solvent – 4 oz. Bottle
Safely Remove PVC Residue, Dirt & Surface Contaminants from Coins
Conserv™ Safe Coin Cleaning Solvent is a professional conservation solution developed specifically for coin collectors, numismatists, metal detectorists, and restoration enthusiasts. Engineered to remove surface contaminants such as PVC residue, grease, oils, adhesives, and other foreign deposits, Conserv helps reveal a coin's natural appearance without polishing or abrading the metal. It was originally developed for industrial surface preparation before its effectiveness in coin conservation was recognized.
Unlike harsh acids or abrasive cleaners, Conserv is formulated to dissolve unwanted surface residues while leaving the underlying metal and original toning undisturbed when used as directed.
Perfect For
*Always test on copper or bronze coins first, as existing patinas and corrosion products can react differently depending on the coin's condition.

Important Notes
Conserv is intended to remove surface contaminants, not corrosion, scratches, or metal loss. Every coin is different, and results will vary depending on the type of residue and the condition of the coin. Always test on a common coin before treating rare or valuable specimens, and avoid rubbing the coin during the cleaning process to minimize the risk of surface marks.
