<p>[QUOTE="SilverTracker, post: 1650251, member: 44750"]I actually cleaned a 1957 wheat cent with gunk on the obverse side with plain hot water and rubbed it with a cotton swab. It removed a bit of it but left a shade of it on the face of Lincoln. I then tried to clean a 1964 with gunk on it with the Olive Oil method I read about by letting it soak 1/2 hour, took it out and ran it under hot water and notta much came off. I realized that the aging and some dirting of the coin gives it character.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
