nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 01/17/2019 1:34 pm For the Kruger Rands it wont matter if there is slight discoloration there are three places I would recommend they are all in Houston Royal coin, US coins and Houston Numismatics US coin is the easiest to find its just off I 10 the other two require some knowledge of Houston to get to. These three dealers are the ones I use and they pay fair prices. Edited by nohope587 01/17/2019 1:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 01/17/2019 3:26 pm I have cleaned up after two fresh water floods and there is typically a lot mud in the water. The coins are going to have mud deposits. The Acetone soak should do the trick, but some of the deposits may not come off or leave stains and it will be tempting to wipe the coin to clean. Do not wipe the coins as they will lose value. Report this Post to the Staff

nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 01/20/2019 8:03 pm The three stores I mentioned are used to doing transactions in the tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars at a time. They all have police security and will escort you to your vehicle should you so desire. Ive taken ten plus ounces of gold at a time to US coins without a problem just act naturally. My wife's last car was paid for by cashing in gold I had stashed. Report this Post to the Staff

Finish off with an acetone soak and air dry I think the same thing should be attempted. Report this Post to the Staff
