<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 135697, member: 4552"]You never stated what type of coins you cleaned. Where they valuable ones or just common ones? Where they in great condition or heavily worn? Very old or what? </p><p>One of the things I've done with some luck on cleaned coins is to soak a piece of cotton with gun bluing solution and hold the coin in that for a few seconds. This will make copper coins look fairly old and used. I doubt it would fool a grading service but it makes them look basically uncleaned. Don't work great with modern nickel materials though but will work to a small degree.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
