I was curious how others cleaned their coins from their finds, and read some threads here on how to do it... Some used Olive Oil, others tumbled them in a tumbler (Not a good idea IMHO), some used vinegar...
So I thought I would do some research on the net and share what I've found here... If anyone has other ideas to safely clean their coins without harming them, please post it...
Note: I think it makes sense to keep copper and other coins separate while cleaning. I think I will clean silver with silver, copper with copper, etc...
Hope these links are accessible over time...
