<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hotwheelsearl, post: 3695842, member: 75143&quot;]So far my cleaning technique has been:</p><p>1. Soak in distilled water, changing it every day. It’s been over a week</p><p><br /></p><p>2. During every change, attack with mechanical tools. I’ve used a popsicle stick, wooden toothpick, brass brush, toothbrush, and screwdriver.</p><p><br /></p><p>I try to use the screwdriver to chip off major areas of encrustations and use the toothbrush and brass brush to remove the rest. Toothpick good for getting stuff out of smaller areas.</p><p><br /></p><p>It takes a lot of time and isn’t monetarily worth it, especially when it’s near impossible to positively identify the coins. Plus the coins are usually not worth much anyways.</p><p><br /></p><p>I mean, for $14 I could have purchased 2 or 3 nice examples of clear, attributable ancient coins that I wouldn’t have to spend hours working on.</p><p><br /></p><p>But where’s the fun in that</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the only 11 coins, I guess I forgave it since I got some extra goodies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
