<p>[QUOTE=&quot;De Orc, post: 230728, member: 4408&quot;]So now you are going back on what you said previously LOL I was quite clearly talking about Ancient Hevely encrusted coins not modern or even relativly new (Few hundred years old)</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: Red">Quote:</span></p><p><span style="color: Red">Originally Posted by De Orc</span></p><p><span style="color: Red">I dont use chemicals just plain and simple distilled waterin the ultrasonic cleaner, then they go into olive oil and finaly will be cleaned off with a soft toothbrush&nbsp; All this can take about a year, the ultrasonic gets rid of a lot of the hard baked on dirt then the rest is up to time LOL </span> </p><p><br /></p><p>Your Response</p><p><br /></p><p>Quote and you are quite specific </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: Blue">Nothing beats leaving well enough alone though. Any cleaning with any brush will leave lines detectible by any grading services today and flag the coin as cleaned or harshly cleaned. Doing this is similar to taking a 500 year old table and sanding it down and then painting it with Walmart paint spray cans. Nice dark green of course. </span></p><p><span style="color: Blue">OLIVE OIL? Not really smart either. Olive Oils are produced slightly different by different manufacturers and thererfore none are exactly the same. Some contain acids, others contain slight contaminates, many contain a variety of fats of different types. READ THE LABLES. Such products left on coins will do as much good for the coins as a fingerprint left by an auto mechanic after chaging someones oil. </span></p><p><span style="color: Blue">Always note that removal of anything on a coin may now be part of the coin due to chemical compouding or just reactions. Unless you know what you are doing it is always best to leave old items of any kind alone.</span> </p><p><br /></p><p>Now soaking in olive&nbsp; oil is a widely and long known method of removing encrustation from coins yet you knock it!! and compare it with sanding down a 500 year old table LOL </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
