shortkaik37 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 12/22/2023 11:46 pm I found a 1958 Wheat penny today outside on the ground. it was a little caked with dirt but I used some mild soap to rinse it off. it was heads as well! I don't know much about coins and I'm new to this hobby. was I wrong to clean the gunk off? * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Also, practice cleaning coins on coins you know are only worth face value. You don't want to damage a valuable by cleaning it. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94636 Posts	Posted 01/05/2024 4:45 pm very nice 'lucky' find. I would soak it in acetone for a day to get any soap residue off it then let air dry - no patting or rubbing it dry. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
