<p>[QUOTE="Hypr277, post: 2908029, member: 91073"]Thank you very much! New question, ok so I clearly am new to coins, I've been steadily researching , but I have lots to learn. I've been just pressing bid on eBay , sometimes I don't even know if I'm over bidding or not. Got off topic...I was trying to ask about cleaning coins. I recently received some old coins, I haven't even gone through them all so I don't know if it's junk or not...I know there are several Whitman folders with a few coins . I'm sure nothing valuable, it's sentimental manly... they look dirty some of them...it drives me crazy. Is there some way to have them cleaned without ruining them? Professionally prob cost a fortune? I read all about not cleaning and then others say u can clean and they say acetone etc . Some have tape on them because my great grandmother I guess was trying to keep them in the slots. I like the coloring of some , not of others. I've got Indian pennies, morgans, wheats, barber dimes, and others. What are my options? Can I clean them without hurting them or taking their coloring away? Literally some look to have dirt or grime on them . I would just buy them knew but it's sentimental, I plan to buy the missing pieces but wanted to start with what I have .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
