[QUOTE="LA_Geezer, post: 2843697, member: 89393"]I realize that most of this thread is on ancient coins, but the thread title is broad enough for this question, I hope. I am going to guess that the majority here are going to say that I should start with distilled water, but I want to know what the next, most intelligent, step would be in this case. As most of you know, the 1928 Philadelphia Peace Dollar is one of the rarest coins in the series, and I won one on eBay a few years ago. The coin itself is in great condition — it is in my safe deposit box at the bank right now so I can't add a photo of it — but it has a dark grey "cast" over the entire coin that certainly detracts from its look and its potential value.
