[QUOTE="katherinebuda, post: 9854865, member: 84284"]I knew I would get that response. Lol. I'm a different breed of collector. I clean anything that I put in my home regardless if it would hurt it's value or not. I would do it professionally of course and with minimal damage. I have totally destroyed the value of antique coins by using electrophoresis and brass brush abrasive. For example I've taken ancient Greek coins and made them luster like they were made yesterday. Coin community hates me. I rather look at something like I was the person buying it 2k years ago. That's just me. My plan is to use mild detergent and a wired brush on the heavy dirt caked areas that don't have that orange paint. The colors under the dirt will be mismatched with the other areas but i need to get under that dirt.[/QUOTE]
