Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 646900, member: 4552"]WELLLLLCOMMMMEE TO THE FORUM. Since your investment is actually 0, I would suggest a little experimenting. As is not much real value. except the 17S Walker but that too in that condition about $50 maybe. Regardless, since they were just found, try some of the methods mentioned on this web site. Go to the search thing and type in coin cleaning, Actone, cleaning coins, etc. Some real odd reading and a little educational.If those were mine I'd start with soaking them all in distilled water for a day or so. If nothing, purchase some Acetone, read about it on this web site. Try some of that. If these methods don't work at all, you may or may not try the many other things people try to remove contaminates on coins. Such things as Lemon Juice, Vinegar, Tamato paste and/or juice, lighter fluid, etc. If you do try these methods you'll actually be falling into the catagory of cleaning a coin. Usually considered a real NO NO. But as I said, no big investment, so nothing to loose by trying. If you do get that stuff off, take those coins and place them on a kitchen window sill. Stand them up so air gets to both sides. Pending on how much cooking is done in that room, the humidity, temperature, etc., it may take some time but you'll be amazed at how those coins will start to look normal again. I've done this with many polished coins and most have returned to almost normal appearances.[/QUOTE]
