The purer the oil the better.

Alright final question, I'm putting them all except the one Ben mentioned in a pot. Is that OK or do they need to be separate? Again thanks for all the answers hope I'm not bothering anyone  |

just pile 'em all in...but it doesn't really matter. let them soak for a bit (days, weeks, months..up to you). if the water starts to look gunky i'd change it out however.

I'm gonna put that really green coin that ben mentioned as well. If that doesn't help AT ALL i'll try the oil.

Hello guys, a 12 hour soak in DW gave me good results. 5 coins where I can see a bust and a design  That provincial coin Ben mentioned did fine, some of the green was gone. Now i'll do a 24 hour soak and see what will happen I got pics of the coins and the updates in hopes someone can at least identify the ruler. Pics will be up soon. |

Looks like you're going to end up with some nice coins. Are you using a brush? (if not, the best thing to use is a cheap toothbrush with the bristles trimmed short.)
I wont speculate on the IDs yet (thats half the fun, after all), but you should able to start pinning down some of the reverses from here using Tesorillo.

yeah, some those are coming out better than I thought they would. that last one, that dark stuff should come off the head. keep at it!
try a toothpick also..it may pry off some of that stuff on the head.
keep us posted!

I'll grab pics after I clean them with the toothbrush before the next soak tomorrow morning. They are coming out better than I thought too.

Well I was going to use the other thread for updates and stuff, guess that won't be happening.
I got 100% pure olive oil for the coin ben mentioned. Gonna do a week long soak. The others in DW I'm scrubbing tomorrow so pics soon.

Coming along nicely. Some coins will clean quicker than others.
