What is the QUICKEST way to remove dirt from Ancient Coins?!?!?!? HELP ME PLEASE!!!!?
I bought 10 coins, all of which are over 1500 years old. But I cannot remove the dirt quickly. And I do not want to scratch the surface of the coin. I need to get the dirt off to see what I have!!!!! PLEASE DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY REMEDIES!!!! THANKS SO MUCH GUYS!!!!!!
try leaving them in cooking oil for 72hours. then take them out and brush them with a tooth rush or brass brush. repeat this process 5-6 times. it will totally remove surface dirt. from there you should be able to identify or see the writing on the coin.
