<p>[QUOTE="Paul M., post: 2600759, member: 73165"]The suggestions here are good, but don't expect miracles. Being in the ground really does a number on a coin. Gold coins can generally come through it alright provided they survive the excavation process: gold is very soft, and you can easily damage, scratch, or cause hairlines on the coin. Silver and copper are much more reactive than gold, so you will likely end up with "environmental damage" after a relatively short time buried, but, sometimes not. And, sometimes, you can rescue silver coins by dipping them, but I wouldn't count on this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
