<p>[QUOTE=&quot;skane, post: 35826, member: 1927&quot;]I pulled out my old lincon cent books from when I was a kid.&nbsp; These books are the ones that hold the coins in clear plastic (almost like &#039;vinyl).&nbsp; I guess the number of years that they&#039;ve been in this plastic and being not properly stored has caused some significant discoloration on the coins.&nbsp; (I also have a similar problem with my Jefferson nickels, but not quite as pronounced).&nbsp; </p><p>anyway, many of these lincoln cents are seriously discarded. Some have even turned some shade of &#039;green&#039;.&nbsp; </p><p>I know that the conventional wisdom (rule) is that coins shuldn&#039;t be cleaned.</p><p>However, is there a way to get rid of this &#039;gunk&#039; (discoloration) without actually harming the coin?</p><p>I&#039;d like to get them out of this book and into some 2x2s or something.&nbsp; any suggestions on what to put them into?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
