That's a clean one! I started using those Andres Pencils to clean IHPs and they work great. Tried them on a few flat buttons, but those results were mixed.
 
That’s a beaut! What method are you using?

I just threw them in olive oil and left them..for 6 years....lol..changed the oil a few times..then started working on them.. I really feel telling how to clean a coin is bad advice in most circumstances..my advice is to experiment with old dug junk coins thoroughly first before you try anything with valuable coins..

Never tried them.. I am more of a chemical duster then an abrasion artist.. I attempt to reverse time.. restoration
