<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrweaseluv, post: 1577661, member: 40340&quot;]I&#039;m very new to ancients myself, I see you following almost the same path I did, Just trying to help you avoid some of the mistakes i made getting started <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>As for the rinse rinse rinse, I used a pair of teflon tipped tweezers and after a short soak would &quot;shake&quot; the coin moving it through the water and would change the water to let it soak a little longer and &quot;shake&quot; it again. I also found the cautious use of a toothpick to &quot;pry&quot; a bit at the tougher clumps helped as well. Again these were like yours &quot;uncleaned&quot; ancients and for the price of about $1-$2 ea, I wasn&#039;t so much worried about damage, I was using them to learn the methods that worked best for me. I hope my experence can help you a bit too. </p><p>Finaly after playing around with a few batches of these I found that some very nice silver and silvered ancients can be bought fairly cheaply ($20 range) and once I get a little more comfortable with them (lots more reading to do) I will start buying good problem free examples (or the best I can afford anyway) that way, it may not be as much fun, but it results in nicer coins in the collection (just my opinion)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
