<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JDSCOIN, post: 25451, member: 1751&quot;]Hello Yabado,</p><p><br /></p><p>It seems that you do have a budding interest in ancient coins and that you would enjoy (have enjoyed) collecting them. Remember, a part of this is what you learn along the way. I would not worry about this as you have. Really, with a bit of knowledge, you are quite safe.</p><p><br /></p><p>As with anything, a bit of precaution can prevent things from becoming unmanagable. Perhaps the fastest, easiest and least costly ways to prevent damage from corrosion from spreading to other coins is to keep them clean, and apply a bit of oil on them so that the air and other contaminants cannot reach the surface of your coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is generally up to the individual collector as to what methods that they want to use on their ancient bronzes and other ancients. But I do recommend taking care of them and not using harsh cleaning methods if at all possible. I am very careful cleaning my ancient coins. Perhaps I will share some of those here as I get the opportunity to do so.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will start by saying that simply soaking coins in ordinary water overnight can indeed, help clean some corrosion. You may use plain warm to hot water, with or without liquid soap. If you need to do more, you may think about an ultra-sonic cleaner. This is where I generally start when it comes to cleaning my ancient coins. Be sure that you dry them very, very well. Make sure that you do not leave them damp, as that will lead to more corrosion.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll actually have to continue this in another reply as I have a bit more to say to you about this. My impression was that you were in this for the long-haul and that you would want to know of several methods that you could use on various coins as their condition warrants, as you had made it clear that you were concerned about more than that one coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regards, Roman</p><p><br /></p><p>PS: I did read the other suggestion that was posted. And that may be an option, but I did not see any cost posted. That may be an expensive route if you have more than a few coins that you want cleaned and preserved.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
