<p>[QUOTE=&quot;4everNana, post: 553257, member: 17653&quot;]I figured the albums themselves were a lost cause, same with old books I&#039;ve inherited. I&#039;ll try sitting them out in my spare room and let time do what it can (as long as my cats don&#039;t decide to play hockey with the coins!)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>Will do, I&#039;m new at all this, so not sure I can take good pictures of coins, but I&#039;ll give it a try! As a genealogist, I take great photos of headstones, so maybe I&#039;ll do ok!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been reading prior posts here about cleaning and dipping coins before posting my question, and early on I thought, hey, acetone, I have that under my bathroom sink! But further reading soon cleared me up on the difference with real acetone and polish remover! </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I do have white cotten gloves, and non-latex gloves, that I use when touching coins; and I never rub or wipe the coins, even though I tend to be a clean freak and any sort of tarnish drives me crazy! In fact, when I first saw the tarnished silver coins, my first impulse was to grab my silvercloth and start rubbing :bigeyes: but something told me to wait and learn first before doing something stupid![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
