Title: cleaning coins Post by: Tafflaff (Rob) on February 26, 2009, 02:32:28 PM I'm getting quite a few copper pennies/ pennies which are very dirty and faded , I use a soft toothbrush to clean tem, with but was wondering if there was a way of enhancing the faded raised designs on the coins.

Is it my imagination or can I hear hundreds of 'thuds' as scores of fainting 'don't-touch-your-finds-with-anything-but water' brigade hit the floor... ;D ;D Geoff Title: Re: cleaning coins Post by: Gadget(Ian) on February 26, 2009, 03:31:35 PM nice one geoff thats a intresting way of identifying those copper discs we usually find and could help with dating a new site.
