Hey guys! First post here, new in every and all coin collecting shapes and sizes! With the chaos of what's currently going on, decided to finally go through this old chest that was handed down to me. I catalogued the Canadian and American coins, and tried my best to follow the guides that exist on which ones stand out / are rare and their specific versions and whatnot. Let me know which ones I should post pictures of and if I have any coin that is ultimately rarer(er). I'm also not sure yet if I will be selling any of them off, but I definitely had a few questions.
I noticed a lot of them are either dirty or have some type of aging to them that reminds me of battery acid and whatnot, disclourations and what not. I also read a few threads on this forum (which is what brought me here in the first place) on the fact most members don't appreciate cleaned coins purchased off
ebay and such, so I'm guessing it's safe to say.. DON'T CLEAN THEM! But, is there *any* type of super non abrasive and community-approved cleaning of any sort? Like even just soak them in some warm water and remove any stickiness some of the coins may have, etc. ? I'm completely new to this, and definitely not looking to remove any of the coin's charms or value! Anyways, here's a list of the coins + paper money (Canadian ones) and if there's anything you guys would like to see!
