There are things that can be (carefully) done. An acetone immersion can remove some types of surface contaminants. Silver coinage can be "dipped" to eliminate unsightly tarnish. Ancient bronze coinage is routinely conserved, often by a soak in olive oil. That's a too short answer with respect to a very complicated topic. How a coin is handled during such procedures can make all the difference as to whether it'll be adjudged "cleaned" afterwards. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
