moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 07/25/2015 7:20 pm Save the coins you find that could do with a cleaning until you have a number to do. Otherwise, the time isn't worth the set up for just one coin. Google Electrolysis, and you can set up a safe and easy way to remove excessive corrosion from most metals. BUT PLEASE NOTE that you don't want to clean anything that might have any real value. The 1901 Indian Head cent, as has been noted, is too far gone to have any collector value, although it is still a darned neat find. Report this Post to the Staff
