<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1999067, member: 42773&quot;]You&#039;ve got to answer some questions for yourself. Do you like cleaning coins? Or do you prefer collecting them? Or a little of both? You might try soaking that one in distilled water and chipping away at the crud with a toothpick, but I doubt you&#039;ll improve it. It already appears to have been harshly cleaned, as some of the raw bronze is showing through. Perhaps the remaining crud is there to stay.</p><p><br /></p><p>With what little cleaning experience I&#039;ve had, I&#039;ve answered those questions for myself as follows: I prefer collecting nice coins, although I don&#039;t mind a little light cleaning now and then. I would not have paid anything for that coin, but whether $1.25 was too expensive is entirely up to you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
