<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Neal, post: 25260996, member: 43872&quot;]If what is on it is dirt and not corrosion, you might try a soak and rinse in distilled water, then carefully pat dry with a soft cloth that was not washed or dried with fabric softener.&nbsp; Whatever you do, as mentioned above, don&#039;t rub at all.&nbsp; If the stuff on it is corrosion (and it appears at least some of it is, but it&#039;s hard to tell from a photo) there is nothing you can do that will not do more harm than good.&nbsp; There are other threads in CT that go into more discussion of the pros and cons of various cleaning solutions.&nbsp; The general rule of thumb is, don&#039;t.&nbsp; But if there are chemicals on the coin that will eventually cause more damage, I believe it is best to remove them if possible, and if you have dirt from the ground on your coin, you don&#039;t know what chemicals it might have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
