<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1617967, member: 15199&quot;]There are so many posts about the future of numismatics, and how to interest kids in coins, and here is a disconnect. Kids like to touch and handle coins, and great teaching can begin a lifelong association. I have been in stores where there are 55 gal drums filled with foreign coins by the pound or kilo.&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t use acetone on more than a couple of coins at a time, and the accumulated grime isn&#039;t going to come off without some action. Consider these coins sacrifices for the future collectors. And the grandson will get greater value handling and looking at the coin devices, then if he inherited them someday( uncleaned) and found them of no value. He will remember the joy he and grandpa had in handling them, and will treasure them far more for the memories than any uncleaned value. IMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
