    When I clean ancient coins, I often use a toothbrush to manually remove some of the more easy to clean dirts and encrustations.

    I often do this cleaning in my bathroom. I also use the toothbrush to brush coins after they have been soaked in various chemicals, including sodium thiosulfate and sodium hydroxide.

    Last night, I had a couple beers or something and wasn't paying attention. So, naturally I grabbed the coin-brush and went to brushing.

    RIP
