[QUOTE="alurid, post: 2662448, member: 81991"]I have used a very, very fine wire, Brass brush that is shaped like a toothbrush. And then wipe with a Q-tip wet with Naptha [lighter fluid]. then into a 2x2 flip, and marked accordingly. As with any coin you have to determine value loss or added. Some of these "Zincs" are quite valuable and I would not think of doing this to. Others are like 10¢ in Unc, so no great loss of value there. And Those coins you could "toss" now can be fillers, or at least study examples[/QUOTE]
