Place the coin in a small glass jar, pour enough olive oil to cover the coin, let it soak for several days. You will start to see particles of the foreign matter in the bottom of the jar. Take the coin out of the oil, and rinse with hot, soapy water Put some Dawn dish soap on the toothbrush, and gently go over the surfaces of the coin with it, to remove matter softened up by the olive oil. More than likely, the coin will need to go back into the olive oil at least several times. If the oil used for the initial soak has gotten dark, or has a lot of particles in it, replace it with fresh olive oil, and repeat .This procedure is somewhat slow, but is much gentler than lemon juice, etc.</p><p>This way of cleaning can remove foreign material without stripping the coin to bright metal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
