<p>[QUOTE=&quot;phankins11, post: 2230301, member: 70703&quot;]he knows the difference between a grimy circulated wheat cent and a coin that you would hold properly <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />...ain&#039;t no amount of holding any certain way that&#039;s gonna help those wheats <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>That reminds me tho, some of the guys in this club have about a srew and a half loose. Had one guy tell me last night, and he was proud as a peacock about this, he got a jar of old indian head cents from a lady who had kept them under the kitchen sink in a mason jar with the lid off. He then whent on to tell me how horribly corded they were with this &quot;green stuff&quot;, but he found a method buy which to clean them. He told me to mix vinegar and salt in some water, then dump the pennies in to that solution and, wait for it....wait for it.....boil them on the stove for about 15 minutes <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Then he showed me one <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie96" alt=":vomit:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I told him that the green stuff was most likely verdigris, and that there is a product called verdicare that would actually remove the verdigris and conserve the surface of the coin. I told him in some severe cases the Verdi-care wouldn&#039;t get it al, off, but would do a much better job of not, ummm, stripping off the top layers of patina and copper from the coin. He looked at me like I was an alien, then said &quot;well theses were all really severe...&quot;<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />...LOL![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
