[QUOTE="LaCointessa, post: 6387595, member: 87186"]:stop::stop::stop: Hold it right there!! o_O Step away from those coins!!! ;) Seriously, I wouldn't do anything to any of those coins you posted other than (if you just HAD to do something) make a few extremely light-handed swipes ([B][U]not [/U][/B]scrubbing back and forth) -- but going in one direction at a time, turning the coin after each swipe (or two) taking long gentle strokes across the coins with the lightest of touches with a clean make up removal pad. I would invest one whole pad to each coin. I always turn the make up pad also, finding a clean spot, so as to not redeposit the dust/gunk I just removed in one swipe back onto the coin with the next swipe. [ATTACH=full]1252802[/ATTACH] wrapped around a baby toothbrush. [ATTACH=full]1252803[/ATTACH] Please do not wet any of those coins. You want them perfectly dry if you do dust them off with the make-up pad wrapped toothbrush.[/QUOTE]
