[QUOTE="Darkfenix, post: 411405, member: 15026"]yeah the plan is as follows as of right now. all coins in distilled water with water changes every 24hours for a few days till the water remains clean the next morning (remove the ones that re fine after this if there are any and brush the rest lightly with a tooth brush) place each coin into a small cup of olive oil so that there all covered and change out the olive oil every few days as needed. (do this for about 2-3 weeks i'd imagine while giving them light brushings after each oil change) then begin using some small dental tools,straight pins and toothpicks to remove the remaining pieces of dirt. and if all else fails I'll prob be using the glue gun method (i know it destroys the patina but if after 2 months of soaking in water/oil doesn't work might give it a try) still open to suggestions/past experinces with this :) as hearing about past mistakes might help me from making them as well :)[/QUOTE]
