[QUOTE="jeankay, post: 335564, member: 12159"][b]To clean and not to clean[/b] Just so you know, this wasn't my novel idea. I had read it online somewhere and tried it on coins I showed in the first picture and came out with the ones in the second picture that I felt could be rolled and recirculated. I would never try to pass this off as real collectible or toned coins, nor would I use them in my collection or the albums I putting together for my grandkids. I posted the information on another forum sometime ago and discovered that it was a well-known Lincoln cent expert who had posted a similar suggestion on his website. I did use a double boiler for the first try, and a plain pot for the second cleaning. It didn't seem to matter to the coins which one I used. You got to admit it though, the cleaned coins are much more pleasing to the eye than the gunky ones. I never realized cents come in such amazing colors. :) jeankay[/QUOTE]
