<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chip Kirkpatrick, post: 3359761, member: 101265&quot;]i am an avid metal detectorist and find a fair share of coins. Since I doubt I will sell my treasures I like to have them where I can admire and enjoy them at their best and also so I can show them to friends. </p><p><br /></p><p>So this leaves the delicate question (since I know I am basically committing THE ULTIMATE SIN, in the eyes of you die hard collectors) of how best to clean my babies. For clad coins I use a rock tumbler with water, gravel, a squirt of Dawn detergent and a dab of white vinegar ( always separate the pennies to avoid pink nickels, dimes and quarters). </p><p><br /></p><p>As example, here are 2 of today’s finds: an 1891 V nickel and an 1857 Seated Liberty dime. What would you suggest I do?</p><p><br /></p><p>Many thanks. [ATTACH=full]890297[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]890298[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
