Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3233 Posts	Posted 10/15/2008 09:28 am Careful, when you say cleaning. Cleaned coins are generally bad coins and lose much of their value. If you mean it needs an acetone dip to remove PVC residue, that might be okay if done properly. Report this Post to the Staff
sheqel New Member Israel 10 Posts	Posted 10/16/2008 11:42 am Hi Prethen, You are right of course, I'm not going to do any cleaning before reading about it and consulting. While on the cleaning subject, what is to be done with green oxidation ? the coine doesn't look like copper but I guess it's some kind of copper alloy, half the coin is green.

Pat dry. If acetone doesn't quite do the trick, then denatured alcohol might help. Be careful. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 10/20/2008 12:26 pm Any type of friction on a coin surface is a bad idea. You may think you are using a soft item like a tooth brush or a cotton ball, but hairlines(fine scratches) will still be left because that soft item moved small bits of dirt and grit across the surface of the coin.

sheqel New Member Israel 10 Posts	Posted 10/21/2008 6:55 pm I absolutely agree, but some times I see stains that look like sticky dirt or particles of some kind and they don't go away just by soaking. Report this Post to the Staff
