[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 5386207, member: 112"]Call 'em up, that's all it takes, they'll talk to ya. As for museums, as a general rule, when it comes to cleaning coins I wouldn't trust any museum to do the work because what many if not most of them call safe methods - aren't. Do you know how the Smithsonian used to and probably still does take care of the US Coin Collection ? The pick the coins up and wipe them down with rags. And many if not most museums do it the same way. Not exactly what I'd call proper cleaning. As for this - I agree. And there are those who know how to do it correctly, safely, for each situation and many more who don't. If you wanna talk about that 100 year old coin in an envelope then I'd talk to a member of this forum [USER=24314]@Insider[/USER] as he is an acknowledge expert on the subject. If you want to talk about shipwreck coins then I'd talk to Robert (Bob) Evans, he's the best I know of. If you want to talk about a 1400 year old, or older, coin found in the desert then I'd talk to [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] , also a member of this forum and acknowledged authority in the subject.[/QUOTE]
