I can't even tell what this one is I don't know nothing about these coins I think it's a quarter but it's got the gold on the back and the front is perfect again and it seems like it's silver obviously
Barber quarter, after the Seated Liberty and before the Standing Liberty. Workhorses of the economy, most seem to be very worn.
doing it now buddy crazy people every person has different ideas !and answers got some good coins for 25$
Never clean coins is good overall advice because "cleaning" covers a world of possibilities. Soaking or rinsing a coin in a pure solvent (distilled water, acetone, xylene) is never going to hurt the coin. Rubbing or brushing a coin will cause damage. For your coin, if I wanted to do anything, I would start with really hot water and let it soak until the water gets cold, remove the coin and blot it dry between folds of a soft towel. If it doesn't look any different, I would give it a few hours soak in some PURE acetone and then blot it dry again...just remember, no rubbing or scrubbing.
Where trying to catch up with you. We do our best at helping. Every coin is different. Guess you could look something up and ask more direct questions. I like your posts. Trying to encourage you. I’m a troll
Fiji water would not be my selection for soaking coins, huge chemical list. https://aquacarpatica.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/FIJI-WATER-STILL_624566.pdf Jim
"Best" is often a matter of opinion, Purest isn't. You're wise to stay with distilled water, and a drop of goo gone is the same as none. If you don't have some PURE acetone, go buy some. The admonition about rubbing to dry coins is not because of the harshness of the towel, but about the grains of dust/dirt/schmutz that are on the surface and will be scrubbed across the coin.
