silver4ever New Member Canada 37 Posts	Posted 05/02/2011 12:31 pm Ya was not sure what to do so left them as is for alot of years, looked into having a pro do the cleaning but figured most likely not worth it...someone told me coca cola but don't think I should try that tho, maybe on one that is really bad with the date to never be known again lol Report this Post to the Staff
TwoCentsWorth Valued Member Canada 250 Posts	Posted 05/02/2011 12:57 pm "Cleaning" is generally considered a 4 letter word around here. 99.9% of the time it only reduces any value a coin has. (by half in many cases). Coca Cola would take off a lot of that verdigris, but also most of the detail and all the value. An un-corroded 1916 1 cent can be bought on ebay for under a dollar so paying someone to have yours cleaned would not be a good use of your precious money. Welcome to the forum!

silver4ever New Member Canada 37 Posts	Posted 05/02/2011 1:28 pm Thanks for the welcome TCW and figured that was best thing to do just leave em as is...kinda like them like this anyways lol others in this kind of shape 1859,1900,1907,1910,1911,1916,1917,1918,1919 Report this Post to the Staff
TwoCentsWorth Valued Member Canada 250 Posts	Posted 05/02/2011 3:21 pm Thats a great start to a large cent collection. Does the 1900 have an H on it, if not it carries a higher premium. Also the 1859 may have a double stamped or wide 9 on it. Cheers Report this Post to the Staff
