So I am working on a coin that is partially clean. Actually, it looks pretty
good except some dirt that they left on the lower areas. A lot on the front, and some on the back. I really am cleaning it to remove some encrustation on it.
Anyways, when I took the coin out of the distilled water to scrub at it tonight, I realized it appeared that the water
ran off of it, and the coin is really smooth. It also didn't get dull like my other coins when it dried. I wasn't sure at first if it is just because I have never held a coin that clean before or not
but I have decided that it appears to be waxed, even though it is not fully cleaned.
So, what do I need to use to remove the wax SAFELY so the water can get to the dirt and encrustation and I can get this bad boy cleaned? Or will hitting it with the toothbrush be enough to remove the wax and get to the dirt underneath.
I searched online and here, but everything talks about applying wax. thanks for the
help.
