This coin was given to me as one from the reign of Herod the Great. I was wondering what I could do to clean it. I've used a tooth brush to clean off some of the red stuff, but it doesn't seem to do much overall. As always, thanks so much for all your help! Erin :) Report this Post to the Staff

What you may wish to try is storing it in olive oil - some coins show considerable improvement after extended soaks (in some cases, years go by). Id recommend leaving it as is.

Johndakerftw Valued Member Canada 93 Posts	Posted 10/29/2014 10:47 am Thanks for the replies! I'll put in in a cardboard flip and leave it alone. It's a cool piece and I wouldn't want to do any damage to it. You guys are the best! Erin :) Report this Post to the Staff
