<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tommyc03, post: 2658228, member: 17665&quot;]alurid is quite correct about not cleaning coins but the key word he used was &quot;If&quot;. In this case it probably did not matter but it&#039;s always the rule of thumb not to clean any coins until you are certain they do not have any value. In some cases, specialized cleaning is necessary such as when finding an old buried coin. Then, by all means, come back here and consult with the experts on the proper practices. For instance, an old dateless Buffalo nickel might need a soak in vinegar to possibly bring out an unseeable date. Or a cent that is covered in crud might require a soak in acetone followed by a rinse in distilled water.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
