<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 114106, member: 3011"]I tried the WD-40 method on a circulated morgan dollar that was encrusted with something that adhered to the surface. I soaked it for about 3 days. It removed whatever it was on the surface and the coin really looked a lot better and even retained original toning common to morgans that WD-40 apparently doesn't harm. Unfortunately, it also revealed a badly damaged spot on the obverse, but that was there before the soaking. Depending on how bad the coin is to start with, this doesn't seem to be a bad treatment when the coin isn't worth the cost of professional conservation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
