<p>[QUOTE="Jim C (Mich), post: 375146, member: 3092"]What I do is put the coin in a small glass bowl and add enough peroxide to cover the coin. I then place the bowl w/coin in the microwave for 10 seconds. I then let the peroxide do its stuff. It bubbles and fizzies for about 15 minutes. I then take out the coins and gently scrub the dirt off with a soft bristle toothbrush. If I like the looks of it I leave it alone if it needs some more cleaning I'll repeat with fresh peroxide. </p><p><br /></p><p>Have always known that you are not to clean coins but this is what I do with dug up coins.
