[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 765095, member: 112"]Unless you get lucky enough to attempt removal when the whatever is fresh, meaning no more than a day or two old, you're wasting your time to attempt removal as it will not come off with anything less a commercial coin dip. Personally I don't and never have. The most I have ever done was to remove dust with air as I have described. And that only a very few times on coins bought direct from the mint in almost 50 years of collecting. Now you're probably gonna ask why not ? It's simple, I only bought coins that didn't need any preparation for storage. I only bought coins that I was completely happy with just as they were. To me, that is the real secret of coin collecting. If you have even the slightest inkling that a coin you are considering buying needs any improvement - then don't buy it.[/QUOTE]
