<p>[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 25282392, member: 42773"]Well for one thing, collectors of ancient coins have an extremely high tolerance for deposits. If you view coins as archaeological artifacts, they don't need to look "perfect" in the way modern coins do. As far as your coin goes, panzerman's suggestion is a good one. Soak the coin in water for a few days - make sure it's <i>distilled water</i> so that it's as clean as possible. Then try to pry off the dirt with a wooden toothpick. Don't use anything metal, or it may scratch the coin. That technique is totally harmless. If it doesn't work, then you go to plan B.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
