<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 557721, member: 4552&quot;]One minor thing I sort of forgot when it comes to cleaning coins. And that is the understatement I made as to a coins value. Try to remember that what is not valuable to you or me may well be exactly what someone else would want. By that I mean any time someone considers cleaning a so called not expensive or valueless coin, they should at least consider those that may want that coin. As an example I&#039;ve heard many posts from so called experts on how to tell the differences in the 1982 Cents from all Copper to Zinc ones. One method is to drop it on a hard service and listen for the difference in sound. Nice suggestion if you don&#039;t care about a dent in a coin that someone would love to have in thier collection. Then too there was a recent suggestion about testing for toning with a torch. Next someone will come up with a six thousand degree welder for such tests. If if melts into a blob of copper, it WAS a Copper cent. </p><p>Experimenting on cleaning a coin should be done only on coins you really know are not valuable to someone else. Kind of a difficult suggestion though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
