On copper coins it will turn them pink and it will take years to get the correct color back. Acid removes the mint fresh surface right off the coin. There is no getting it back. The harm has been done. If you are going to experiment, try using worthless change to experiment on.  |

All things being equal, it's generally not a good idea to bathe coins in vinegar. I agree... The only chemical that is safe to soak coins in is acetone. It will not affect the coin`s surface luster and will clean the coin of any organic substances. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 |

I just dropped a fresh, very common shield cent into a glass container of culinary vinegar. I'll check on it later tomorrow. If anything interesting shows, I'll post a photo.

If there is split plating on it, you might have a Copper colored Hershey's kiss wrapper in there tomorrow. Take some images of it and I'll add them to my files. Right now om my image host it say, 11,984. Soon to be 12K. Probably take a day or two to get there?
