Cleaning and restoring ancient coins and artefacts has always been a requirement of archaeologists and museum curators. Additionally, private collectors and metal detector enthusiasts often find it necessary to undertake basic conservation work. Until now, there has been very little in the way of published information to help them. Although some excellent books do exist, they tend to be aimed at a professional rather than an amateur audience.
Cleaning and restoring coins by Michael Cuddeford at last puts such information within the reach of ordinary people. By explaining procedures and detailing equipment on a 'need to know' basis, a lot of the complexity and mystery is taken out of the subject. This book will undoubtedly become an essential reference source for all with a need to undertake the cleaning and restoration of coins and artefacts.
