<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 778584, member: 6370&quot;]I have had this problem with old iron notgeld type coins like these. What I did was soak them in WD40...some I have soaked for a brief time in rust remover then in WD40...I will post an Aachen coin I got that was rather rusted and what it looks like after I soaked it (this time a remembered to take before and after photos) when I get home <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Oh, it may also require light scrubbing with a soft bristled brush in between soaks in WD40. It did not leave any visible marks on the few coins I have done this one. The rust remover I used also acts as a rust preventer...as does WD40 so I did not de-grease.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>yours seems to be in rather good condition save for the bit of rust, I would certainly at least soak it even if you are against using a soft brush...but it might require a long soak and you will probably need to AT LEAST rub it lightly with a soft cloth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
