This is the closet thing to an error I've seen since I started. Besides that 1064D penny lol. Still learning the ropes so I kindly ask you to hold your sarcastic remarks to yourself. Thank you. How should I go about cleaning dirty coins?
looks like mechanical doubling near the date... not an error ..but good try ....there is a lot of mechanical doubling coins out there... depends on what you are talking about ...dirty ??? with decent cheaper coins to clean ..I like to use the cloth method ..rub coin between cloth between fingers...I even sent some coins to NGC that ive done this too.. but did these very gently... some like the acetone and ive use that too....then of course for those real yucky nasty coins.... ive got a rock tumbler and wire wheel ??????
Thank you for spreading your knowledge. I tend to learn things better/faster from personal experience than looking at a book or website. I have read that you shouldn't clean the coins because it damages them and expert coin collectors can look at it and tell. You know those coins that have been sitting in the back seat with the kids that get melted candy or that have that green/white deposit on them? Those are the ones that I want to clean, who knows what lies underneath all of that gunk. P.S. Sorry about the late response
If you have gunk, epoxy, or some other substance on your coins, then let it soak for a little bit in acetone. Acetone will not damage the coin, but will help loosen or remove foreign matter.
I love to use DAWN dish washing soap-and a vibrating-hehe-old tooth brush. Let dry then-wah lah- a pretty nice coin--
And when someone reads this and then does and it cost them thousands of dollars, will you laugh with them?
Perhaps it is time to wrap your posting up for the evening. Giving damaging information to people who may not see the bad humor is not good for the forum's reputation. So please think about your answers. Jim
Have no idea where you live so.....hardware store, walmart, menards,lowes,..... just about anywhere that sells paint
