<p>[QUOTE=&quot;softmentor, post: 4651088, member: 10469&quot;]the problem is that the &quot;crud&quot; you speak of has probably corrupted the surface underneath and your cleaning it will reveal the imperfections. That said, I have cleaned a few coins that were, as you say, simply crud-inflicted, and been happy with the the results SOME of the time. If it&#039;s a big glob of yuck that completely covers the coin, like old bubble gun, I use an old Popsicle stick to get the major yuck off, since that will minimize the scratch damage. For glue, there are solvents. Sometimes I resort to a metal tool and go at it very carefully, which almost always winds up scratching it. Sometimes its better to have a scratch than all that crud.</p><p>But bottom line, do NOT expect perfection will sparkle when you get done. You will have a flawed surface. Clean, but flawed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
