<p>[QUOTE=&quot;littlehugger, post: 2183976, member: 58633&quot;]I have always been curious about cleaning methods. Primarily for old copper. I don&#039;t mind the chocolate or steel coloring, but many seem to have crusty stuff on them. How do you get this off without ruining the coin? Heaven forbid the thing comes out all bright shiny red! But, I have some, and have seen some that would be vastly improved by removal of crusty stuff.</p><p>&nbsp;I also prefer my silver coins to be silver. Not mirror bright, but the normal silver coloring. I cannot afford uncirculated versions of everything in my Type Set, but that black oxidation that is so common to silver really turns me off. Its also weird in what coins have it. As a metal detectorist, I have dug silver coins out of the ground that had no oxidation, and found them in circulation that were heavily oxidized. What gives?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
