If you REALLY want to get rid of the oxidation, there is product called Tarn-X that will remove tarnish. It usually gets rid of most of the surface stuff and with several applications can get you back to bare copper. I don't recommend it for a coin as old as yours. Soap and water, patted dry is as much as I would do to yours. Good Luck! Report this Post to the Staff
zakota Valued Member United States 342 Posts	Posted 04/16/2009 9:35 pm Thank you for the help. It has already been soaked in oil and washed with soap. I guess that is as far as I will go. Report this Post to the Staff

Do not clean your coins under any circumstances! Soak or freeze thaw cycle in distilled water only. This may remove some of the surface grime. You may try an acetone soak followed by a pat and air dry. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
