<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 556088, member: 15199&quot;]If you want to make some practice coins, take some common pocket change, put a few drops of cooking oil on and rub into the crevice very well, add some graphite ( either lock lubricant or grind some pencil leads) to the oil. Put into a zip lock with some lint from the dryer and rub through the plastic and let set for a week or so. This should give you some &quot;novice&quot; level coins to try cleaning with a toothpick, dental pick, green thorn, or other mentioned device. If you have access to a mortar and pestle you can grind the lint and graphite before adding to the oil. You have to wait a while until the oil &quot;sets&quot; the &quot;pocket grime&quot; into the letters and numbers crevices ( the longer, the more challenging). If you leave more than a couple of new light scratches, you are not successful. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
