If you put it into Distilled Water, you will get the last of that crud off. I woulf grade it XF-AU Details, environmental damage. Report this Post to the Staff

DannDaMan020 Valued Member United States 188 Posts	Posted 04/21/2014 1:03 pm The amount of time a coin would spend in DW (Distilled Water) is relative to the amount of crusty stuff on the coin and how hard the crusty stuff is. You could probably clean up the fields in about a month and a half. If you want to use oil, you can, and it will take on a darker, olive patina. Report this Post to the Staff
