[QUOTE="Dot, post: 159483, member: 6394"]Came across a nice new unit at a thrift store for a couple bucks, so of course I picked it up, thinking it could be useful for something. Now, I know the dogma about not cleaning coins... but there are some that I want to experiment on anyway. I'm in an experimental mode, I'm trying to learn how to detect various insults to coins, and figure that the best way is to do them myself. In particular I have one coin, a 1933 Walker, not valuable but a nice coin anyway, and it's got some sort of organic gunk on it (it smells organic, like someone either tried to tone or clean it, unsuccessfully). How would ultrasonic cleaning impact a coin, I mean negatively? And, I was thinking of putting all my really old grungy icky coins from rolls (cents mostly) into it just to clean them before putting them back into circulation. What do you say?[/QUOTE]
