DO NOT USE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: - Olive Oil - MS70, CoinCare or acid-thiourea based dips - Mineral oil, mineral sprits or other household chemicals - Vinegar (with or without salt) - Ketchup, hot sauce or other stuff meant to eat I have no idea about the value of your coins but if you have any worth $150 or more, leave the conservation to the experts like NCS.
