<p>[QUOTE="BATTERup646, post: 2292992, member: 75931"]My distantly-related-uncle used to collect. He's seventy five, he selling it all off slowly now. So yesterday, he left my dad a bag of coins to give me. After receiving them, i called him, thanked him, and looked in. An Ike, 1976. from Philly. A JFK, 1976, Philly. A few wheat cents. Then the interesting part starts.</p><p> So, there were five buffalo nickels, all dateless, oxidated, scratched, just, nearly almost cull. I considered cleaning only the bottom part, with the date, but i don't whether i should or not. Can i safely apply Hydrogen Peroxide, or whatever with a Q-tip, to the nickel without causing toning, or acid spots. My chemistry is pretty rusty, what do you recommend? I don't want to dispose, or sell them, but add to my collection. Should i just dump it in the solution, or just do the Q-tip thing, if the Q-tip thing wouldn't work, can't i just dunk a quarter (25%) of it in? Thanks.</p><p>-John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
