[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 2661042, member: 8959"]Besides the occasional use of acetone, I have never really been much of a coin cleaner. Here is, however, a sestertius which I really thought could use some cleaning: the bright green deposits obscured much of the little reading obverse detail. Not nice. Here are the 'before' pictures: [ATTACH=full]590322[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]590323[/ATTACH] And here the 'after' pictures: After rinsing with water, followed by 2 brief acetone dips, then picking at the remaining deposits with a rose thorn; and finally, localized 6-10 minute application of a few drops of Verdi-care. I daresay I like the 'after' better: [ATTACH=full]590324[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]590325[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
