<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 218694, member: 6370&quot;]I clean ancients all the time...as for other coins...If I get a coin that has some kind of crap on it...I will soak them in distilled water. I have done this with quite a few old (but modern) coins. Some coins I have gotten have a tar like spot on them or some kind of thick black spotty crud on them...often times around the inscription or on the face...who knows what it is, certainly isnt toning...probably just build-up of dirt from circulation...some times you can just pop it off with a fingernail, most times it sticks. So I plop it in a bit of distilled water and often times it will soften and you can just lightly rub it off...if it is a circulated coin....lite rubbing will not harm it at all....after years of cirulation, no one will wil know if you let it sit in water for a bit or rubed it a bit...Thats as much as I will do to a modern coin. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ancients..I will scrub those suckers good <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
