Report this post Edit post Reply with quote could anyone help me please, i believe the "white stuff" on old lead is poisonous, is there any way to clean it off and still keep the writing etc. in a readable condition, i ask for a member of an american coin group member who has got some lead "tokens" or something like that and wishes to see what is on them, any help would be appreciated. mike.

If they have any value, cleaning will decrease that value.
Brushing in soapy water with a soft nail brush may do it, although I would be
wary of cleaning at all.
