Lionel90 Valued Member United States 392 Posts	Posted 03/07/2018 7:06 pm I dumped out my pile of junk pennies and took a picture. Then I gave them a wash in Dawn and they look exactly the same except wet. Report this Post to the Staff

qaman Valued Member United States 175 Posts	Posted 03/09/2018 12:09 pm I'm able to put them in rolls and return to the bank, if not I would probably drop them in the parking lot a few at a time to make some ones day. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/09/2018 1:05 pm That looks exactly what I pull out of the CoinStar trays! I think others leave it just for me, so I can have something to post on the CoinStar thread! Report this Post to the Staff
Lionel90 Valued Member United States 392 Posts	Posted 03/09/2018 4:50 pm That's a great idea. I'll take them to Coinstar to discourage other Coinstar searchers. Report this Post to the Staff

Sagegirl Valued Member United States 207 Posts	Posted 03/10/2018 12:38 pm I am keeping all my damaged coins in a bag, then later on this summer when I can do this outdoors, I will experiment with cleaning process. Not so much a cleaning process, but a process to get the top few layers of oil and dirt off. If I screw up an already damaged coin, then no real loss. I have a small bag of wartime nickles that look like somebody put them in an oil drain pan and left them in the sludge for a few years. I tried soaking one of them in just plain old boiling distilled water, but without having to rub the junk off it didn't work, I certainly won't use my well water, it's just plain bad, too much alkaline. Have gotten a few ideas for cleaning from this forum, but no way I am using acetone inside during the winter. Report this Post to the Staff

John77 Pillar of the Community United States 2917 Posts	Posted 03/15/2018 02:01 am Wow, Meraxes! That's pretty sad! Reminds me of the low-grade/damaged/cull War Nickel set I threw up on ebay one time... and I actually ended up selling the set for $15 or so + shipping! CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets! Report this Post to the Staff

PCGS recently put out an article about low grade registry sets. It was a thinly veiled advertisement for their services, but a neat idea, nevertheless. @jbuck Lol! Hey, it's a one-of-a-kind...
