<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 578506, member: 3011"]There's a lot of good advice above. I would just add that you should go slow. First, get the coins out of the 2x2's. Some may be okay. Some might just require a rinse with distilled water [no soap]. I would avoid the use of acids [olive oil]. If there are any potentially high value coins, they may warrant professional conservation. Just take it one coin at a time even though there are many of them. Resist the urge to rush to get it done.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
