<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aaron Apfel, post: 4977057, member: 67415&quot;]I&#039;m afraid not, if you were willing to get a stereo microscope and spend some time under there with precision tools (tooth picks, dental picks, etc.) you might release some small amount of crud. But to be honest, anything you manage to get off under a microscope you won&#039;t notice with your naked eye. These coins look pretty well cleaned and won&#039;t release any more detail than they already show.</p><p><br /></p><p>I definitely wouldn&#039;t tamper much with the first one, I would be very concerned about that crack seen clearly on the reverse. Boiling/hot water especially would compromise it.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are into cleaning coins there are plenty of threads on this forum that discuss it in detail with good guides and references to good/decent sellers. Just search for &#039;uncleaned&#039; and you should find everything you need. Otherwise, Like ValiantKnight said; there are loads of great looking coins out there for cheap if you know where to look. Good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
