ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19107 Posts	Posted 04/12/2022 07:49 am There's always the option of using a solvent (with proper precautions of course). Perhaps test a few different solvents on the least desirable coins. Or, just enjoy the table as it is. Do you see anything particularly interesting in the collection? Report this Post to the Staff

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2950 Posts	Posted 04/12/2022 08:02 am Yeah, there might be a potentially valuable coin or two in there... Silver, gold even, or just a rare date could be possible. Looks like some tokens in there also... And then, glad you can ask us! Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 04/12/2022 08:21 am If the coins have only low individual value, try a soak in kerosene or methylated spirits first, because those solvents are easier to obtain, more often more ready at hand, cheaper to buy and vapors less toxic, then try acetone. For coins of higher individual value, use acetone only. Report this Post to the Staff
