<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Boss, post: 499535, member: 15110&quot;]Wonderful summary!!&nbsp; I use all of the above methods, but did not know I should use a GREEN rose thorn.&nbsp; I have been practicing on common wheat cents at removing crud and have gotten good at it.&nbsp; I am saving up for this digital portable microscope (Big-C) as advertised in Coin Values magazine.&nbsp; Goes up to 200 zoom and can plug into computer and take photos with.&nbsp; Cost about $400.&nbsp; It is hard to hold the coin use a loope and work on the coin at the same time unless your an Octopus.&nbsp; I am going to get a #4 Jewelers brush as recommended to me by Condor101 like the EAC guys use to remove the oils (Ikeep mineral oilor Blue Ribbon on my coppers as a protectant in airitites, though I recognize not everyone likes this). I find when I dab the oil off it leaves little hairs from the cloth that I can&#039;t get off easily.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
