Best Answer

1. It is best to use distilled water. Minerals in your tap water may react with the metal. 2. Use SOAP, not DETERGENT. Again, chemicals may affect the coin surface. 3. Let the coins soak to loosen the surface dirt then gently sweep it off with an artist's camel hair brush. 4. Allow to air-dry laying on the soft cloth, but don't wipe them.

If additional cleaning is needed, it should be done by an expert conservator.

Moss grows anywhere it can. If an indoor surface is clean moss won't grow on it, but outdoors there's no such thing as a clean surface, so moss will grow there if the climatic conditions are right.

How does cleaning coins work?

If you have dirty coins, Rules # 1 through 100 are DO NOT TRY TO CLEAN THEM AT HOME. Any household chemicals you might use will damage the coin itself and significantly reduce its value. The most you should do is to dab a dirty coin with some distilled water and a soft cloth. If you have a coin known to be valuable that is encrusted in dirt or other crud, you'll need to contact a coin dealer about finding a company that specializes in cleaning. They have the right tools and techniques to avoid damage. Such a firm was used to remove 150 years of ocean grot from the coins found on the S.S. Pacific, for example.

In nature, this clean surface enables other equally clean particles of gold to adhere; in a stream for example; eventually forming a larger nugget.
