<p>[QUOTE="JrCoin, post: 649194, member: 18390"]The first question is are they worth anything to begin with? If you've got a great treasure in there I believe certain tpg services can restore coins. If they're sticky and nasty like that and you aren't ruining a key date or error try a little dish soap and water. Don't scrub them, just let them soak, run fresh water over them, and leave them on a towel ( I recommend microfiber cloth) to air dry. I believe most people would recommend acetone (pure acetone not nail polish remover) as the next step, but don't use acetone with copper, it can radically alter the finish. Before you do ANYTHING the best thing you could do is list what coins exactly you have here so a member can help you identify valueable coins. If you're having difficulty with that and can't post a decent picture then take them to a coin shop to be appraised. DO THAT FIRST![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
