<p>[QUOTE="Pishpash, post: 2431274, member: 71514"]Acetone will get rid of grease and other organics. If you can't get DW, go to a local garage and get the stuff that you use for topping up car batteries. The theory behind using DW is that minerals will leach out of the coin and into the water (hence, change it when it becomes cloudy), eventually making it easier to remove the crud. The crud for each coin will be different depending where it has been for the last 1700 plus years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just put it in a tub, cover with "fancy" water, leave on the side somewhere. When you go past it, just give it a shake and put it back. Every couple of days, get the toothbrush out and give it a brush. Put it back in the tub, change the water if necessary, continue until you are satisfied with the results. Post said results here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
