Rubber gloves, goggles, lots of ventilation. </p><p><br /></p><p>Again, I must stress, after having done this I don&#039;t believe I would do it again and <span style="color: DarkRed">I DO NOT RECOMMEND</span> that anyone else does this. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m saying this because you asked but as most every one else is saying about cleaning coins even if they have done it in the past or are still doing it <span style="color: DarkRed">DON&#039;T DON&#039;T DON&#039;T DON&#039;T</span> some method are dangerous and if there is any value to the coin you will have just cleaned it away.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
