<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2971647, member: 19463&quot;]Hot glue works with a couple of warnings.&nbsp; Do not try it on a fourree as it will lift the plating.&nbsp; It is a mistake to remove the coin from the hot glue until it has cooled completely (10 minutes or so). This allows the glue to peel off in one piece rather than leaving residue on the surface in small pieces that can be hard to remove.&nbsp; Like all cleaning methods, glue only works on some kinds of dirt.&nbsp; The hard part of cleaning to me is deciding which method is best for which coin.&nbsp; I am not patient enough for this hobby.&nbsp; I prefer to allow those who have the experience to clean worthwhile coins.&nbsp; If what you want is a pile of ordinary, common coins, you can but them from people who cleaned them in hope of finding a rarity but have a thousand cleaned ones that are worth less than the uncleaned versions just like losing lottery tickets are worth less than ones this a one in a hundred million chance of being a winner.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
