I definitely agree that these coins do not need to be cleaned at all. They are all beautifully
toned and should just retain their originality. However, for future reference, I have found that porcupine quills
work wonders for removing dirt and
pvc from the details of coins. Where other instruments may scratch your coins now matter how careful you are, quills don't seem to. I have noticed certain waxy substances when removed will scratch a coin unless you are SUPER careful, but with waxy material I usually just use a dry q-tip to lightly remove it since it usually has already weakened the top layer of metal anyway. Dry q-tips are wonderful for
pvc as well especially on silver. So just something to think about and consider if you come across dirt encrusted or
pvc saturated coins.
