I like Cleaned Coins and you should to thread

Remind me to be careful who listen to on forums. One suggested using a toothpick on coins but that creates scratches. At least this coin already had issues.

I use never dull on junk

 

can't you do it without water spots? Maybe in the dish washer?

 

Let us know how that works out.

 

it turned a little darkish but it looks very clean! Maybe if I didn't put it on heat dry.

 

Almost all ancient coins recovered from burial need to be cleaned, and acetone is virtually useless in these circumstances.

 

So, you think I might get the creeping crud from all the dirt on the LRB's I've been cleaning?

 

OMG who resurrected this thread. It's here to stay I guess...

 

Ruben...Ruben... I feel your presence...

 

I think he is angry at coin collecting. We went to Amsterdam, though!

I was looking at coins on ebay and most seem whizzed. I wonder if my coins were whizzed and sold on ebay.

 

What is the deal today with all these old threads being revived?

 

That's just how we do things around here. There any many threads with good information/conversation that could have more input added to it.

 

I agree. Glad to see these gems come back to life. There's so much to learn from them.

 

especially with typos in the title

 

First thing I noticed then tried to think of how it went 64 freakin pages without a mod correction

 

Could be that Ruben had about 64 threads going all at the same time. I liked Ruben. He left here for his own reasons.

 

He drove me nuts.

His hobby was to start threads & then disappear.

 

Nuts! The toothpick does not cause scratches. The debris that is moved over the surface by the toothpick (used in most cases by people who should not be touching their coins at all) causes the scratches.

Toothpicks happen to be an important tool in conservation when used PROPERLY by a professional using a microscope and suitable chemicals. TYVM

 

I think they are very informative. Many of us short-timers didn't even know they existed!
