<p>[QUOTE="SteveG, post: 337548, member: 12509"]Hi, I'm the OP, the one who was talking about that tape. Denis was talking about large cents that were caked up with grime. He made no comments about low or high value coins. He gave an example of a dirty Large cent that had never been cleaned. It graded (If I recall correctly) F12. It was cleaned with acetone and viola, it became AU. (Don't shoot me, I'm just saying what Denis Loring said.) He then went on to say if you have a coin that has stubborn dirt that won't come off, THEN use Ivory soap and a toothbrush. At that point, an audience member asked about cleaing inside the curls, date, and other tight spots. Denis said to use a thorn. The guy in the audience said "A WHAT??" Denis said "a thorn."</p><p> </p><p>I borrowed it from the ANA library. If anyone wants to see it themselves, I'll pop it in and get the exact title, so you can request it from the ANA.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
