<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gary hunter, post: 3229435, member: 98114&quot;]This is a great topic. I first soak the copper penny in solvent to loosen foreign objects dirt deep in letters and crevasses and dates of the coin. This does not change the coins tone of the naturally aging. Then I soak in acetone( A DEGREASER ONLY) to remove the oil and grease from the solvent. I do not touch the coin from then on. After drying with a cotton towel I look at it under my microscope for dirt and if seen I remove with a wooden tooth pick if I can. If it can&#039;t be removed I leave it as it is probably natural corrosion. To finish for protection&nbsp; I rub in White Lithium Grease and then rub it off with a cotton towel. My only question is how this will effect the copper penny in years to come.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
