1943 Nickle at same place where the 1949s Dime was Bouns: My cleaning process!

[PrizmIV]

Well I found this 1943-P war nickle at the same place that I found the 1949-S Dime which by the way is a rare one!!! BTW: How do you tell if the eye is doubled or not As a special treat I have revealed my cleaning process!!! First: dowse coin in pure Alcohol for 5-10min
Second: Dip q-tips in alcohol then rub for a long time till it appears to be somewhat shiny. Third: (optional) Get the sharp pick and carefully !!!! rub not scrape in between the letters to remove grime. This also can be done on the detail areas. Fourth: get more q-tips with alcohol one them go over it one more time. Then get some dry q-tips and rub thats when the stuff really starts to come up. Once your q-tip becomes green or black in spots get another q-tip. apply more alcohol if needed. Your DONE! Also this is safe to do on all coins! (that I have tried; Mercury's,Buffalo's,v nickles,Morgan dollars,peace dollars, various one cent pieces, and large cent pieces.) This process also most of the time raises dates off of Buffalo's! Enjoy and HH Jonathan!

Well... Doctor, I think your cleaning method is good. The only thing I would not do is the rubbing with the sharp pick. I would use maybe a plastic one from a Swiss Army Knife. Also I hope you know any coin that you think may be valuable DO NOT CLEAN IT!! If you think it must be cleaned ONLY clean a very little by rinsing with water and wiping down.

HH!!

Prizm,

Your definition of rare must be different then mine. In 1949, the San Francisco mint minted 13,510,000 dimes. Hardly rare. Its not even the lowest mintage in the silver Roosevelt dime series 1946-1964. In 1955, the Philadelphia mint minted 12,828,381, still not by a long shot as rare.
