livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 2213 Posts	Posted 06/20/2025 09:41 am Coins that worn, corroded, damaged cannot be identified, are not worth trying to restore. There are posts here on CCF and online how to properly clean/restore ancient coins and Youtube videos to watch. Be careful, don't use methods that are abrasive, that scratch or damage the patina.

If you have a thick coin with layers of encrustation, it is tempting to see what might be under there. But sadly, the layers are often corrosion that grows from the coin and once you get down to the coin level, the corrosion you find is continuing deep into the coin, so if you removed it you are left with a pitted item.
