I am posting this here to see if I get some answers.
I have a encrusted silver coin and encrusted copper coin in distilled water. I was told that distilled water is a weak form of acid. I also read that distilled water can dissolve metal over time.
My questions:
-Is there a risk in leaving these encrusted coins submerged in distilled water for long periods of time (i.e. months)? I change the water every week and always find salts and pieces of encrustation coming off. Does this mean that the cleaning process is working?
Thank you for any responses.
