Little programmer humor there... ummm... ahem...
Hi. Just leaving an intro here because it was suggested. My name's Jeff and I've been coinroll hunting for about five years. Actually "collecting" to a very minor degree for much longer. "Collecting" meaning that when I come across random pretty things, I keep them.
But I've come to the point where I need other people to talk to for the practical knowledge that doesn't seem to come from books.
For instance (and the reason I came here today): Over the last five years I've collected two 5-gallon buckets of copper pennies. But now that I'm interested in errors and varieties, how do I get them clean enough to SEE them without being accused of cleaning them?
Don't worry. I will search the forum for an answer. Then post the question in an appropriate thread if I don't find the answer. That was just an example of the type of questions that I have. Honestly, if you try to google or youtube "cleaning coins" you mostly come across 90% of people telling you not to and 10% of people telling you to do things that are obviously going to hurt the coin value. No one seems interested in telling you a safe way to get off the little bit of accumulated dirt that makes close examination impossible.
Etc. Hope y'all have a great day.
