<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeepfreak81, post: 3047236, member: 93888&quot;]Now, I know that cleaning coins is generally not recommended, and I&#039;ve yet to do it other than a little distilled water to get some dirt and gunk off.&nbsp; However, last weekend I did clean a couple of wheat pennies.&nbsp; This is in regards to metal detecting, the penneis were so far gone they were never going to be worth anything and I really wanted to see the dates on them.&nbsp; I learned that a 50/50 mixture of distilled vinegar and water with some salt added worked to get lots of crud off the copper coins.&nbsp; Twirled the coins around for about 10 seconds then rinsed them off.&nbsp; The dates were still very hard to see but I did manage to figure them out.</p><p><br /></p><p>I DO NOT condone this method for anything other than junk coins retrieved from the ground.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]761643[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
