TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 12/23/2011 10:33 am Wow that is fast! First time that I have heard of this solution. Is this a kinder and gentler method than electrolysis? I have not tried zapping myself but I do have uncleaned coins that need more than olive oil. By the way. Nice coins!

jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 12/23/2011 2:38 pm I watched a video on you tube and it shows a museum doing this. Depending on the coin usually I will use a few different methods. This seems to be the best on the patina. I usually experiment with all the cleaning methods and sometimes combine them depending on the coin. I also found out(the hard way) the less you put a coin through the better.

jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 12/23/2011 2:49 pm I guess you can say I have experimented with all kinds of methods from cleaning, to toning coins. I started to experiment with US coins so I could spot these when purchasing coins. I usually tweak the methods and use them in shorter times and dilute solutions it will take several different methods on some coins. One thing I have learned Heat will just ruin the coin no matter what you are trying to do. Report this Post to the Staff
