For the loose top dirt I would use a stiff bristle brush like a tooth brush (the stiffer the better, even shorten the bristles) DON&#039;T use a brass bristle brush unless you know when to stop you can severely damage the coin. Use the worst coin first to practice on even something different like a beat up penny. Another thing that you can use is a straight pin ( BE CAREFUL). This is to get in all the cracks. And what will greatly assist you is a stereo microscope. You can have the coin all lit up with light and while you are looking through the mic. you can clean the dirt out of the cracks with ease. Another good thing for really hard dirt, soak in pure distilled water and change water every 2 days and give a quick brush off. Get yourself some bamboo skewers and keep them sharp.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
