[QUOTE="chrsmat71, post: 2183805, member: 42634"]here's my basic technique, cut and paste from another thread. i used to clean coins, and had some degree of luck with this basic technique. 1. initial soak for 12hr- day in water with a tad bit o dish detergent. set out in sun and swirl around every now and then. 2. pick at them with a toothpick or needle (careful) and toothbrush 3. back to soaking, plain distilled water. 4.repeat 2-3 as often as you want, every day...every week...whatever, until your happy. change out the water every so often, when in looks "gunky" 5. bake the coins to dry, 20 minutes 200 F (or sit them out on in full daylight in the summer to bake. 6. apply some wax if that something you're into (optional) it's hard to tell from the pics, but i think you'll have a few attributable coins there.[/QUOTE]
