<p>[QUOTE="gboulton, post: 1385942, member: 27043"]Eureka!After many years of painstaking research, I have finally done it.I have discovered the IDEAL method for cleaning coins. It is safe, inexpensive, quick, easy, and 100% guaranteed to leave no trace of cleaning detectable by even the most advanced of methods.I am so confident in this method, I have chosen this nearly priceless 2001 Vermont State Quarter to demonstrate my method to you all. Obviously I wouldn't risk such a valuable numismatic treasure unless I was absolutely certain of the results.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]165013.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>First, clean the coin thoroughly with tooth paste. This will remove any caked on grime and gunk, and allow the dog slobber to reach the surface below in the next step.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]165015.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The next step is the most important. It is THIS STEP that provides the layer of protection to the coin that renders the following steps safe and effective. Liberally prep the coin with dog slobber. Not just any dog will do, however! Only the slobber of a German Shepherd contains the correct proteins, amino acids, and bacteria to combine with the metal of the coin to form the protective layer we need.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]165014.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Don't worry if you don't see this layer developing. It's INVISIBLE! (As it must be, of course, to remain undetectable by the top grading companies)Next, you'll need Deep Space Polish. I'm not really sure what part of space it comes from, but I had it laying around, and it does a nice job. It can't be very expensive, otherwise I wouldn't have it.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]165016.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Polish the coin to your heart's content.
