[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 10010971, member: 22"]Numismatically coins should not be cleaned, soaking in acetone can be used to get rid of dirt and gunge. They should never be rubbed or scrubbed. Cleaning the coins in the OP is fine as they are already damaged and beyond help. Ancient coins (Roman, Greek, Byzantine etc) are cleaned by collectors but that is another story.[/QUOTE]
