The problem is that he dried to clean them with what appears to be regular detergent a long time ago. He told me that he filled a bucket up with some sort of soapy liquid and left them there for quite sometime. He must have drained them off but left lots of soap residue on it (greenish-blue in color). These coins are already damaged. My question is this: How can I effectively clean these coins off without further damage? I&#039;m not worried about their &quot;value&quot; because they are probably all crap now anyways. I just want to be able to look and them closer and figure out exactly what is there. I&#039;m planning on just using a little water at first to just see if the stuff rubs off easily under running water. Are there any other suggestions?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
