<p>[QUOTE=&quot;10gary22, post: 1249196, member: 23626&quot;]Generally speaking, it is best to not try and clean coins.

Considered an expert in the field by many, yet he routinely boils all cents before searching through them. It&#039;s not a complicated method but does require a large electric frying pan. Seriously, circulated coins are just that............circulated, dirty, corroded, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hoarded coins may fall into a different category. You first need to identify the coin before you do anything. IMHO</p><p><br /></p><p>gary[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
