<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2272955, member: 76086&quot;]Cleaning coins should always be done by the professionals.&nbsp; If you are not only try your hand with coins you can destroy and not be unhappy about it.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been dealing for over 25 years but prefer to leave it to those who know more than I do.&nbsp; This humble coin here is the first one I ever cleaned, bought from a junk lot from Francis Rath (likely no list members here who remember him) probably 30 years ago.&nbsp; Turned out OK, but will need another 100 years to tone back down naturally.&nbsp; I do remember experimenting with electrolysis.&nbsp; I know some have great results with it, but my first experiment was not so good.&nbsp; I had a junk lot that I put in together, turned out a nice and really rare Byzantine was in there, potentially worth $500.&nbsp; I left it in the solution too long (or had the power up too high, or combination of all?).&nbsp; When I went back to check it after another 30 minutes, the damned thing had actually dissolved to about 50% of its original size!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]453014[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
