CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 11/20/2015 2:16 pm This little jewel popped out of a roll for me. I suspected there might be something there, but couldn't be sure for all the grime. Then, I had a and remembered something Coop posted a while back. I broke out some Baby Oil and a soft toothbrush, and this is what I got. Most of the markers are there, but faint. Rather than spending the time to capture them with my inexpensive little Coolpix, I believe the variety on this one, pretty much speaks for itself. I am tickled. What do you think?

MS70Error5 Valued Member United States 434 Posts	Posted 11/20/2015 8:20 pm Nice coin. :) I have a question about "cleaning" a coin. I know if you use the nickel solution on a Buffalo nickel, you must then refer to it as an "acid date." If you use mineral oil or soap and water would it be slabbed "cleaned," or do only certain cleaning methods get the "cleaned" attribution? Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 11/20/2015 8:42 pm If you have a coin valuable enough to be slabbed, you shouldn't clean it. Don't even wipe it. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/21/2015 12:28 am Mineral oil will help loosen the grime on a coin. It will not change the color of the coin. Using a very soft bristle brush is important as to still will scratch the devices/fields. This process is only to be used on circulated coins with grime on them. Not for use on BU coins or proof coins. Just use on circulated coins to help see what is on the mint mark and other devices. An acid dip will turn copper coins pink. Before attempting to try this, use on a dirty circulated coin with no premium for it. The best advice is to not clean coins. Only after getting the procedure down would you want to try this. If it is a valuable variety, don't even try the coin bathing. Best to leave it the way you found it. Report this Post to the Staff
