<p>[QUOTE=&quot;britannia40, post: 3175737, member: 74818&quot;]I use only distilled water, Vulpex Soap, and hand tools.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have an assortment of tools some specific for roman coins and some are other things. I have a diamond dust pencil set and scalpel. I have a regular scalpel and ceramic one. I have a tip of a protractor they tend to be pointed but dull which is good for not scratching. I have a very fine sharp pointed tool for cleaning inside letters and hairlines. I have a 3 brush set of nylon brass (only if think encrusted) and stainless steel (not used yet).</p><p><br /></p><p>I have mint state restoration dip for if the encrustations cant be done by hand tools. I have conservators wax for the final round.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just be careful what you read and follow online. There is a lot of information out there that will ruin or damage your coins. The bottom line I learned its if you don&#039;t rush it you will be ok. Anny mistakes I made were due to impatience. Now I just take a break and come back when i&#039;m in the mood.</p><p><br /></p><p>You will run into a lot of things like rust, damage and other things that aren&#039;t online and just have to deal with. all coins will really not be the same based on reaction to being buried corrosion mineral deposits ect.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope this helps. Feel free to email or ask any questions and I will help with what I can.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]817151[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
