<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Boss, post: 591377, member: 15110&quot;]Posting this not to encourage flagrant, dangerous coin practices, but to help those who don&#039;t like junk on their coins and don&#039;t want to mess them up by trying to &quot;fix&quot; them. Lord knows, I have done that already as seen in previous threads. Practice on lots of low value wheats. I usually use 5-7 fresh rose thorns with a green roots so it&#039;s not too stiff which will scratch the coin. The sharper the better or you will scratch the coin by smashing the grime into the coin verses lifting it. Usually turn the coin a lot to push the grime into the lettering verses away from it (this will scratch the coin in my experience if you push the grime away from the edges of the dentils, lettering, rims or wherever the grime is). Use a micro fiber cloth or an air-tite to hold coin still and loope with other hand. Use mineral oil to decrease friction. I usually soak a couple months (no less than 2 weeks) in a plastic cup. Use xylene or MEK to remove the oil. Hope this helps others.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Give me a second to post after photos:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
