<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 5565914, member: 1765&quot;]The two cents shown are as nice looking as they&#039;ll ever be.&nbsp; If they were mine, I&#039;d look under magnification to see if there&#039;s anything that needs to be removed with a solvent (distilled water, a swab with some alcohol if avoiding acetone) or by carefully poking with a stick (green rose thorns -- ask a florist for some), but that&#039;s it.&nbsp; Other dug stuff would be treated the same way.&nbsp; You don&#039;t want to strip off the patina with anything acidic, or you&#039;ll just wake up the copper and make it corrode faster.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
