<p>[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 3917416, member: 82549"]By any chance, do you have access to a digital 10x microscope? If so, go to a hobby shop and pick up a couple of thin brass rods of between 3/32" and 3/16" in diameter. File the ends down into sharp points. Put the coin under your scope and use the pointy ends of the rods to dig out the encrustations. If you're careful and proceed slowly, you won't damage the coin by doing this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
