<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PEdoubleNIZZLE, post: 168337, member: 794&quot;]Ok, I&#039;ve heard the sermon many times: Don&#039;t clean your coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, I was metal detecting in the yard behind my new house. Okay, the house isn&#039;t really new, it&#039;s 150 years old. I dug up a few coins which are encrusted in what appears to be a crystalline substance (maybe from the metal being in contact with minerals in the soil.) I can&#039;t quite Identify them, and they won&#039;t come clean with water.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any suggestions on how to clean them without destroying them? It seems to me most are silver coins, but I&#039;m not quite sure yet. If they&#039;re too far gone, I&#039;d be happy just to have bullion value coins for free.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance,</p><p>Josh[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
