<p>[QUOTE=&quot;svessien, post: 416355, member: 15481&quot;]I don&#039;t think you should try cleaning those coins more than they have been cleaned already. If you remove the patina, they will look really ugly.</p><p>Ancient coins are best cleaned using distilled water or olive oil. Let the coins soak for a few weeks, take them out and let them dry up, and use a soft brass brush, toothpicks or a metal pick to remove dirt.</p><p>Don&#039;t remove patina - at least that&#039;s my opinion. I have gone too far cleaning a few coins, and I always regret it. </p><p>The best way to learn this, is of course to buy a lot of uncleaned coins and try it out. There are a lot of internet sites about cleaning ancient coins, just google it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
