[QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 2396892, member: 57463"]On the subject of cleaning coins, I have very little experience. I have used "rubbing alcohol" (isopropanol) as a solvent. Soap and water are always an option. For cleaning ancients and other old copper, olive oil is frequently recommended. On that basis, I have tried other oils including WD-40. Old collections often toned "naturally" (ahem) because they were stored in felt-lined wooden cabinets. It might be interesting to experiment with natural woods, such as walnut and cherry to see what tones what with what result.[/QUOTE]
