<p>[QUOTE="Arcane76, post: 7694524, member: 113565"]I should add some other information. These, and probably another 40 or so coins I’m working on represent my first attempts at cleaning coins. A lot of soaking and brushing and soaking and brushing and well you get the idea. I tried some ideas I have read on this wonderful site! It really is the best especially the ancient forum as everyone is so helpful! I have commented maybe on a few posts and posted a few other coins I have purchased and/or asked for help. I am very much a “newbie” still and I appreciate all the help and comments . Sorry got sidetracked a bit. Anyways learning to use some brass brushes, toothpicks, dental tools, qtips, ammonia, olive oil, CLR etc. after reading( and already having purchased a mix of “premium” “true premium” and “diggers choice” coins) [USER=75143]@hotwheelsearl[/USER] review of coins he had purchased I figured I would give it a go and try different methods to see what works for me. I like having coins in my collection that I “discovered” myself. Kind of like a treasure hunt. However I have also found that I like just buying nice coins that are already cleaned and ready to present. As [USER=75143]@hotwheelsearl[/USER] said they are NOT just rinse and brush coins. I think maybe one I have is. The rest need/needed a lot of work. Fun for me but maybe not others…anyways thanks for looking and reading a long, possibly boring post![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
