<p>[QUOTE="Nathan B., post: 7908450, member: 112852"]Thank you, Doug! I agree with you very much that this particular coin is a lost cause, but I still want to use it to understand the process of cleaning coins, and also the nature of ancient coins surfaces. Regarding your olive oil comment: noted! The dealer I bought them off of said olive oil worked best. At the moment, I've got one in olive oil; plus the one pictured above; and one that I've been soaking in distilled water and going at with a toothpick and occasionally an unused toothbrush. So far, I think I've killed that one! That gives me ten coins left that are still untouched.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
