<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 20623, member: 112&quot;]If the coins actually have rust on them - they are already damaged. And while I can suggest a method for removing the rust - it will leave the coins still damaged. The best you can hope for is to prevent further damage. For that reason - this is going to be one of the very few times that I ever tell a person how to clean a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Go to your local hardware store and purchase some naval jelly. It is a pink gelatinous liquid that will remove rust. Using the tip of your finger place a small amount on the coin and gently rub it over the surface until covered. Let it sit for a few minutes and then rinse thoroughly and pat dry, do not rub, with a soft cotton cloth. Let the coin air dry to be sure all traces of moisture have evaporated. Then store your iron coins in a good quality holder to prevent the air getting to them. Store them in an area that is as dry as possible with silica packs.</p><p><br /></p><p>The cleaned coins will likely have visible spots where the rust was removed. But if stored correctly - they will rust no more and further damage will be alleviated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
