[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 4329494, member: 26302"]What do you do with the modern US stuff? My neighbor, and early MD in the 70's, used to take any face value coins, put them in a old butter churn with water and soap, slosh them around some to clean them up, and spend them. He made a good return in 1979 dumping all of his junk silver. I always remember one coin that made you want to cry. I was with him when he found it. Muddy Lincoln cent, rubbed the date 1909 S, turned it over, and a VDB was clearly seen. Coin was a nice XF/AU, continue cleaning it off...…..attempted hole on the top of it. :( Someone tried to make a pendant and stopped half way through.[/QUOTE]
