Benefactor robinjojo Posted Tuesday at 07:45 PM · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted Tuesday at 07:45 PM I don't think it would hurt the coin to let it soak in distilled water for an hour or two, with some checking during the soak. The deposits might loosen up; it all depends on how hard they are. You could also use a toothpick to help remove or mitigate the deposits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ela126 Posted Tuesday at 08:24 PM · Member Share Posted Tuesday at 08:24 PM Definitely some potential from cleaning. soaking and qtips to start. Toothpicks likely as well. dont blindly brush, until you know the patina is strong this might hurt it. If the patina is nicely intact and solid, brushing and other methods can help too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
