<p>[QUOTE="Pishpash, post: 2300346, member: 71514"]It all depends on what you have used before. If you have soaked in oil, then you are stuck with oil. If not, I would suggest distilled water or de-ionised water. Leave it to soak changing the water when it becomes cloudy. This could take a very long time, so patience is your friend here. If you think there could be any organics on the surface, you could try washing it in 100 percent acetone first. Have a pick at it every now and then with something not too sharp, then chuck it back in the water. It could take months but any shortcut is likely to spoil whatever is left on the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
