<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Samisue, post: 1714870, member: 51360&quot;]That definetly puts a different spin on it. Never thought about it like that. I so far, have only cleaned a few, and mostly some awesomely corroded ones, so that I could see the corrosion better, and examine what it does to the coin...fascinating stuff! I&#039;m keeping them just cause they are so cool looking with their craters and volcano looking pits. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> So, for me, I am now thinking, if it&#039;s going in my keep jar, I will only remove debris (which I do by hand with water and with toothbrush or swab) If i come across a coin that&#039;s too corroded to see any kind of errors, it goes in the USE jar. Here&#039;s another question, I&#039;ve noticed after giving several a water bath, and they drying with a soft cloth, (by rubbing, not patting <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, it&#039;s a very old linen cloth I used to clean my glasses before I lost them) they have a ?waxy? shine to them...is that from the cloth, or natural from rubbing dry??? Thank you both for your input, much appreciated and both gave me things to ponder <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
