slash....can you use compressed air to blow off the dust ? That would be the safest. And are they uncirculated ? If so then it might be better to get a few plastic tubes....if just circulated, then rewrap in paper.

soap and water is the only cleaning you want to do. I would use an air compressor/scuba tank to blow the dust off. if you do uses water make sure that after you run them under the tap dry them off immediately. You dont know what minerals are in your water. After that I would put them in a plastic tube. For temporary storage use a penny wrapper but in the long run coin tubes would be good to look into.

I wish the wheats were uncirculated
there are a handful or really nice BU's from the 50's
the rest are just circulated condition
even though they were kept in a ziploc baggie and maybe 5 bucks worth in rolls
they arent really coated in any verdi gunk
as for flips
I am interested in getting some
If anyone has any extra I could use them to package up the Barber coins and other old stuff that would be appreciated
I would pay you for them PM me and I could give you my info and sort out a deal
Pics to come I promise

Love seeing other's secret work spaces :)

I just got a load of wheats that resulted in similar counts. Sorted by decade and into the olive oil for nice long soak.

Need a better pic of that 22!

:) I am working on the 22 picture lol
how does one go about getting something like that graded and stuff like that
I also have a complete date and mm breakdown of the wheats that is almost done I will post it later tonight when the 50's are searched
And I just rinsed the coins in water, but yeah lots of fun
another not worthy find in my eyes was a 1933 Wheat penny
mintage was pretty low I was excited
