<p>[QUOTE="LukeGob, post: 24439134, member: 73885"]If you want to try your hand at cleaning coins (& you should! It's a lot of fun), please do not start with those. You will almost certainly not like the results. I mostly buy from a site called Noble Roman Coins (not the ebay store). I just checked, they're out right now but get new stuff frequently. The cheapest grade is a couple bucks, perfect for practice. 2 other grades as well. They have free instructions to download. The owner makes it fun, too; clearly enjoys his job. I would highly recommend starting somewhere like that. Pumice soap might not be a great idea. Saoking in distilled water (regular tap water or whatever will do nothing) is your best tool. And patience; I've had to let certain coins soak for over a year (prob longer, you kind of lose track) before the dirt would loosen. Good luck! Please post your progress.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
