<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 3720896, member: 33176&quot;][USER=107040]@Rachel Perez[/USER] the real harm in &quot;cleaning&quot; coins comes from either rubbing them and scooting surface debris across the coin, scratching it, or using corrosive chemicals that would dissolve or alter the surface.&nbsp; Pure solvents such as water, acetone, alcohol or xylene will not attack the coin&#039;s surface, they will remove debris.&nbsp; After soaking the coin, either pat/blot it dry or allow the solvent to evaporate and there should be no harm to the coin.&nbsp; This is really an interesting looking coin.&nbsp; Perhaps take it to a local coin dealer (google search) and have them look at it.&nbsp; Don&#039;t get too paranoid that they will try and rip you off, you don&#039;t have to sell it, you just want their opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
