<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nicholasz219, post: 2709963, member: 75641&quot;]I just stumbled onto this thread which is hilarious because I just bought myself a little treat of 10 uncleaned coins for $10 to see if I could make some heads or tails of them.&nbsp; Romans, not Greek, for those of you worried I will assign homework for the group, haha.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So Mikey Zee said that boiling water was his only approved method.&nbsp; I know a little lemon juice on silver with a toothpick can remove some black gunk.&nbsp; I have done that on one coin that had that problem and it did the trick.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The unclean ancients I bought seemed to have a nice layer of dirt on them.&nbsp; Should I buy one of the cleaning bits for $20?&nbsp; I refuse to use chemicals but I do not mind chipping off sand/dirt because I am pretty well aware that the coins I am buying are mostly junk to begin with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
