<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 840477, member: 3726&quot;]I will tell you my experience with trying to clean them.&nbsp; We got about $1500 in melt value when we sold them.&nbsp; We thought on a couple of Kennedy halves that maybe we could salvage something - or at least see the date.&nbsp; Soap and water - did absolutely nothing. Next we tried a solution of E-zest - nothing.&nbsp; Then we tried straight E-zest and got really dirty solution.&nbsp; It did help us see the rims to see they were silver.&nbsp; After that we tossed a few to the side, sorted the rest and sold them to the local dealer.&nbsp; There were only a few that we could not tell the date or they were silver.&nbsp; Of course we planned on selling them to start with, but needed them sorted for the dealer. We were doing this for a friend of my fathers.&nbsp; Still he did get about $1500 for the lot - some of it we had to break apart or scrape melted plastic off the coin.&nbsp; Even if it did clean the coin would be useless. A few frankies and standing liberty halves survived - but were common date low grade stuff anyway.&nbsp; So I hate to say it but I agree that you should just sell it for melt.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
